These are some tweets that were used during the election season which include severe usage of wordplay.
BJP legislator Harsh Sanghavi's tweet on the miserable performance of the Congress stole the show.
He wrote, "If you start from Mumbai's Churchgate on a local train and head North, Punjab is where you'll find the first Congress MP."
If you catch a train at Churchgate station and travel towards North... The first Congress MP you will find is in Punjab.

Comedian Kunal Kamra was in the news for not being quite in favour of Narendra Modi. After the results, he summed up his views in one tweet.
History will remember you as a cheerleader for the facists & will remember us as the unorganized voices fighting it.

After Chetan Bhagat said that the best thing to help our democracy is to not hate the Modi government, Kunal Kamra's response became a moment to remember.

On the other hand, Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee expressed dissent over the election results and followed it with short poems.
Congratulations to the winners. But all losers are not losers. We have to do a complete review and then we will share our views with you all. Let the counting process be completed fully and the VVPATs matched

Director Anurag Kashyap also took a dig at Mamata Banerjee and Rahul Gandhi's resignations.
Mamta didi wanted to resign but party rejected offer. Rahul Gandhi wanted to resign but party rejected the offer. We wanted to act dumb and believe it but our intelligence rejected it.. P.S. I didn’t want to tweet this but twiterrati rejected my intention.
