India is currently tallying votes in the world’s largest election, which was conducted in seven phases over six weeks. The BJP’s performance has been below expectations, and it appears they may not meet exit poll predictions or secure a majority on their own. The INDIA bloc is putting up a strong fight against the NDA, with many constituencies yielding unexpected results. In response, people are sharing memes from the Amazon series “Panchayat” that perfectly capture the mood of the day.
One popular meme features the line, “1-1 cup chai aur bola jaye?” This phrase resonates with many as they follow the tense election results. The dialogue is from the third season of “Panchayat,” where Binod (played by Ashok Pathak) and Bhushan (played by Durgesh Kumar) contemplate ordering another cup of tea while watching the drama unfold from a distance at the Phulera panchayat office.

Another widely shared scene from “Panchayat” shows Amma Jee (played by Abha Sharma) pulling off a scheme to secure a house in her name under a government program. When people in Phulera inquire about her condition, she repeatedly says, “Bas andar se mann achcha nahi lag raha.”

A third scene that people are sharing online features Bhushan commenting, “Ye to alag hi fraud chal raha hai,” as he reviews the list of individuals who were allotted homes under a government scheme.
