BJP, PDP Call it Quits & Twitter Can’t Stop Meme-ing The Break-Up

Did you say #BJPDumpsPDP? There’s a Twitter joke (or 300) for that!

The Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) announced on Tuesday, 19 June that they were calling it quits with the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in the state. Following the BJP’s call for Governer’s rule in the state, Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti tendered her resignation to Governor Narinder Nath Vohra.

The BJP blamed the split on the PDP’s inability to “control growing tension in the state”.

Here’s how Twitter reacted to the shock announcement. And before you ask, yes, #BJPDumpsPDP was trending moments after the announcement.

Some social media users speculated that this was an orchestrated move ahead of the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, while other users said the split was a birthday gift to Congress chief Rahul Gandhi (who celebrated his birthday on 19 June).

On the occasion of @RahulGandhi birthday bjp's decision gives a very great gift to the president of Congress party,I think he makes another round table minister game as did in Karnataka@sambitswaraj @sardanarohit @RubikaLiyaquat @narendramodi #BJPDumpsPDP
