Anand Mahindra On UK Political Crisis

After a spate of scandals and issues during his three years in power, recently, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced his resignation as the head of the Conservative Party. An extraordinary political crisis is expected to be resolved by the action, which will also lead to the election of a new premier for the Conservative Party.

But on the other hand, instead of resolving this crisis, this action eventually ignited the more crisis more as this action eventually resulted in the new head of the state from the same party who recently put objections of his own party leader.

Now, around the world, everyone is trying to figure out who will become the next Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and with a surprise, Indian-origin Rishi Sunak and Priti Patel’s names came in several surveys as they both enjoy huge goodwill among the local population.

Anand Mahindra take on UK political crisis

Since this news went viral on social media, people from India started talking about it. Although their candidacy is still in doubt, many people are fun of the UK political crisis here.

In between all this was going on, billionaire industrialist Anand Mahindra, who is renowned for his insightful social media posts, focused attention once more on his tweet which he had published on the prevailing political turmoil in the United Kingdom.

On Twitter, he posted a morphed picture of the official house of the British Prime Minister, 10 Downing Street as a meme. The image depicts the residence’s exterior being decked with dried mango leaves and a Swastika symbol (as a mark of celebration), just like many houses in India.

He tweeted the photo with a caption:

“The future of 10 Downing Street? The famed British humour is now laced with Desi humour…”

The image is going viral on social media and surprising the users. So far, his tweet has gained thousands of retweets and more than 21.1K likes. Many people are also sharing reactions to his tweet. While many people praised his sense of humour, some on the other hand took a serious tone and ask him about Rishi Sunak’s candidacy.

Until a new leader has been chosen by the time of the Conservative Party conference, which is due in October, Boris Johnson, 58, will continue to be in control at 10 Downing Street. It would be amazing to see if Anand Mahindra’s meme could actually become a reality. Whosoever wins, whether, of Indian origin or other, one thing is for sure, that it will not benefit India anyhow.
