The ‘Mauka Mauka’ commercial during the 2015 World Cup may have tormented many a Pakistani cricket fan but they may just have the last laugh.
Indians had their share of fun during the Pakistan-India matches at the World Cup this when the commercial was released, showing a ‘Pakistani’ man placing a box of firecrackers quietly back as in 1992, 1996, 1999, 2003 and 2011 after failing to defeat India.
But as it turns out, the 'Mauka' man may finally be able to burst firecrackers following India’s ruling party the Bharatiya Janata Party's defeat in the Bihar Assembly polls.
Waning popularity: Modi suffers defeat in crucial Bihar election
Earlier, BJP President Amit Shah said at an election rally in Raxaul, "If the Bharatiya Janata Party is defeated in the Bihar Assembly polls and does not form a government, firecrackers will be burst in Pakistan."
Firecrackers did seem to go off, on Twitter at least, as #Bihar began trending as soon as results on Sunday showed BJP losing to Nitish Kumar-Lalu Prasad Yadav's coalition.
If BJP loses Bihar polls, crackers will burst in Pakistan: Amit Shah
Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) vice-president Sherry Rehman brushed off Shah's claim in a very subtle manner as she said that the Bihar election result wasn't of any significance to Pakistan.
But a BJP supporter couldn't help contradicting Rehman.
Meanwhile, security analyst and author Ayesha Siddiqa examined how people reacted to the elections in different ways.
Following are some tweets made light of the situation.
"I wish Imran Khan could also learn from his ideal Nitish Kumar, the tactic to defeat the government in the center," tweeted Zeeshan Awan.
