It’s 2020 and memes are officially taking over the world. Or, at the very least, they’re definitely taking over politicians and news channels.
Because BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra used the viral ‘Rashiben’ meme–yes, the ‘rasode mein kaun tha‘–on Aaj Tak while discussing the Congress’ latest Working Committee meeting.
कांग्रेस के CWC की meeting ठीक वैसे ही है जैसे “रसोडे में कौन है?”

Rashi = Modiji

Cooker = Sambit Patra
Chana = Brains
Gas = News channel studio
"Rashi ne cooker mein se chane nikaal diye. Aur khaali cooker gas pe chadha diya."
I understand Sambit Patra.

He thinks blabbering such BS makes him look smart. But what is Rohit Sardana listening so intently to? Cooker se chane nikal gaye? 😂 https://t.co/BEKhPSgROB
Sambit Patra just quoted the cooker dialogue on national television 😂😂😂
— Aditya Doshi (@meindoshihu) August 25, 2020
imagine being sambit patra and reading out the ‘rasode mein kaun tha?’ dialogues verbatim on a news debate

Chane Cooker has reached in TV studios, very unsurprising considering what a gem Sambit Patra as a debate degrader is.

Now that Sambit Patra has used “Rasode mein kaun tha?” on national television, I think its time to stop using it.

Sambit Patra took the “Rasode mein Kaun Tha?” MEME to a debate on a news channel but didn’t talked about JEE/NEET Exams being held during this Pandemic ☺️

I still can’t believe how could Rohit Sardana and Pawan Khera listen to whole rasoda chana cooker thing by Sambit Patra with a straight face 😂

Dark creators: We have got the best story plot & suspense out of all there.

Sambit Patra: Hold till I put cooker on gas with chana 🤣🤣🤣#rashiben #CongressPresident #RahulhiRashihai https://t.co/npxaG4jic9
Award for best ‘Acting of listening’ goes to Rohit Sardana. Look at the way he listens to Sambhit Patra when he the later rants about Rashi ben taking out chane from cooker and khali cooker gas pe chada diya😂https://t.co/aeD4NJ0e0N

Perhaps the news isn’t the best medium for memes? Or, as our favourite ‘mast aadmi’ would say,
Indian politics could very well be the next thing on Saas, Bahu, aur Saazish.
