Vishwanathan Anand’s Copy-Paste Blunder: How BJP’s whatsapp PR Script Checkmated Him 🤦♂️♟️
India’s chess legend may be the grandmaster of the 64 squares, but when it comes to political PR, it seems he blundered like a rookie. Vishwanathan anand, in what can only be described as a “Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V championship Move,” accidentally exposed the bjp IT Cell’s whatsapp copy-paste game.
Here’s the breakdown of this hilarious, facepalm-worthy episode:
1. The ‘Ji’ Slip That Gave It Away
anand posted a glowing message, but forgot to delete the honorific “Vishwanathan anand Ji” — exactly the kind of placeholder the IT Cell sends around for influencers to use. Basically, anand ended up referring to himself like a whatsapp forward uncle.
2. Delete, Repost, Pretend Nothing Happened
Once the blooper started doing rounds, anand quietly deleted the post and put up a “fixed” version. But by then, screenshots had already made him the main character of the day on X (Twitter).
3. From Grandmaster to Copy-Paste Master
All these years, we thought anand was India’s sharpest strategist. Turns out, even he can get checkmated by a whatsapp draft. The IT Cell sent the script, and our chess champion played along without even proofreading.
4. The bjp IT Cell Template Factory Exposed
This incident is less about anand and more about how the PR machinery works. Celebrities, cricketers, chess players — everyone gets the same “PR script,” with their name tagged so they can copy-paste. Anand’s blunder just made the assembly-line propaganda visible.
5. Twitter Had a Field Day
“Even in chess, you can’t play both sides, anand Ji,” joked one user. Others roasted him with memes of pawns turning into whatsapp forwards. The internet never misses.
6. The Real Checkmate
The bjp IT Cell wanted a glowing PR post. Instead, they ended up with an embarrassing leak showing exactly how scripted their campaigns are. anand just exposed the entire opening strategy.
🔥 Final Move: This wasn’t a chess match. It was a whatsapp forward match — and anand just lost in two moves.
