New Delhi – Amid the fervor of election season, a viral meme featuring Prime Minister Narendra Modi dancing to a popular Bengali tune brought a wave of amusement online. PM Modi embraced the humor, tweeting, "Like all of you, I also enjoyed seeing myself dance. Such creativity in peak poll season is truly a delight!"

In stark contrast, a similar meme featuring West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee provoked a serious response from the Kolkata Police, who demanded the meme creator's identity and threatened legal action if it wasn’t disclosed.

Social media users praised PM Modi's light-hearted approach, while criticizing the police crackdown in Bengal. Historically, Indian elections have been a time for political satire, from RK Laxman's cartoons to modern social media memes. However, legal actions against creators have become more frequent in recent years, especially in West Bengal.

This incident highlights the diverse reactions to political satire in India, blending humor, creativity, and controversy in the digital age.
