Congress takes dig at BJP using Game of Thrones reference
NEW DELHI, April 16, 2019: As HBO's hit television series "Game of Thrones" is back for its highly-anticipated eighth and final season, Congress has used the show as a means to launch its latest attack on the BJP.
Congress took to their official Twitter account to take a dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP by giving the show's tagline a spin.
Using the hashtag #BJPGameOfThieves, the Congress posted: "Spoiler Alert: When you play the Game of Thieves, you either lose or you bribe!"
The line is a take-off on one of the popular dialogues that go, "When you play the game of thrones, you either win or you die".
PM Modi has been cast as the blue-eyed Night King who leads an army of the dead and is widely expected to be the opponent in the final battle.
