Message in a meme?

How political statements are being made in the age of viral social media posts

In the age of viral social media posts, political statements are also being made through internet memes. At an event, Communist Party of India leader Sitaram Yechury was seen flaunting a mobile phone with a cover that had the now popular words “Yeh bik gayi hai Gormint (this government has been sold)” displayed on it. The words come from a viral post of a woman criticising the government in Pakistan. Was Yechury looking to draw attention to his and his party’s pet peeves without saying them in so many words?
