Social media users had a field day on Twitter after the German luxury carmaker BMW said on Wednesday (Sept 14) that it has no plans to set up a manufacturing unit in Punjab. The development came after Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann-led Punjab government claimed that BMW agreed to set up a manufacturing plant in the state. As soon as BMW issued a clarification on the Punjab government's claim, not only opposition parties but even Twitter users took a dig at the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), which soon led to a meme fest. Congress party's Twitter handle 'Congress Sevadal' hit out at the ruling party saying 'AAP's gutter gas technology-laden BMW is taking Punjab to the gallows'.
