The BJP on Sunday took to animation videos to mock Congress chief Rahul Gandhi and other opposition leaders with a series of sports-based animated clips to accuse them of seeking proof of the Balakot terror strike and to assert Prime Minister Narendra Modi's invincibility against a fragmented challenge in Lok Sabha polls.

The videos, released through the saffron party's official Twitter handle and by its senior party leaders including Arun Jaitley and Piyush Goyal, sought to draw analogies from cricket, chess, tug of war, kabaddi and other sports to show "confusion" and differences among the opposition parties.

Almost all the videos prominently presented Modi as a hero single-handedly taking on the opposition leaders on various issues including corruption and fight against terror.

In one cricket-based animated clip, Modi has been shown as hitting a six to win the match, while opposition leaders are shown questioning the empire on his decision to declare the shot a sixer and demanding a "proof".

Tagging the video in his tweet, Jaitley said, "Which Indian asks for proof of India's victory? Those asking for proof would be defeated again and the Modi government would come again."
Talking about these videos, BJP's Information Technology (IT) cell head Amit Malviya said, The idea was to communicate the party's message to the electorate in a manner they will relate to and find interesting."
