Today morning, pictures of Indian Army’s Labradors doing yoga along with their trainers went viral on social media. Dogs belonging to BSF and Indo-Tibetian Border Police (ITBP) were also captured practising yoga.
While the reactions were universally positive, Rahul Gandhi decided to use their pictures to mock the BJP’s “New India” plank.
This did not go down well with many social media users who heavily criticised the Congress president for mocking the efforts of the dogs and their trainers.
Grow up Mr Gandhi. Or fade away. https://t.co/jEfhK9YdeI

The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
