Anand Mahindra turns his attention to the political crisis in the United Kingdom

Industrialist Anand Mahindra is known for his interesting tweets. This time, he focused his attention on the ongoing political crisis in the United Kingdom, sharing a meme at 10 Downing Street, the official residence of the British Prime Minister. The photo shows the facade of the residence decorated with dried mango leaves and a swastika symbol (as a symbol of celebration).

He captioned the photo: “The future of 10 Downing Street? Famous British humor now brimming with country humour.”

This photo is making a lot of headlines on social media and is surprising the users. It has garnered over 12,000 likes and hundreds of retweets so far.

One user wrote in the comment box, ‘Sometimes being Indian is cute.

Another user said, “Sir, you never disappoint with your tweets.”

A third user wrote, ‘One more thing is missing, lemon and chilli are hanging on the door frame of the main door.

Mr Mahindra’s post comes as former UK Chancellor Rishi Sunak officially joined the race to become the UK’s next prime minister. He is among eight candidates making the initial shortlist in the race to replace Boris Johnson as leader of the Conservative Party and British prime minister at the close of the nomination on Tuesday evening.

Mr Sunak told The Telegraph that if he becomes the next prime minister of the United Kingdom, he will handle the economy like former Conservative prime minister Margaret Thatcher.

“We will cut taxes and we will do it responsibly. This is my economic view. I would describe it as common sense Thatcherism. I believe that is what he would have done,” Mr. Sunak told the newspaper. .

Mr Sunak, 42, and another minister resigned last week in protest of Johnson’s scandal-hit administration, prompting a wave of government resignations that forced him to step down as Conservative leader.
