Having been downloaded more than 10 million times, Tik Tok, an application known for making short videos, now has a group of users which uses the platform to express their political opinions.
A thread of eight Tik Tok videos shared by a Twitter user shows people voicing their views about Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath and even trying to prove a certain instance from the Ramayana true.

Some of the videos show youths offering the RSS salute while reciting the RSS prayer Namaste Sada Vatsale Maatribhoome.
Surprisingly, Chhatrapati Shivaji seems to be super popular among the Kerala RSS/ABVP cadre. Which to me is super fascinating. Anyone know why? Example 👇🏾 pic.twitter.com/QBim2wSp2C

Singing a song that was possibly composed to seek votes for Modi, a youth sings, “Bacha bacha kare pukaar, ab ki baar Modi sarkar (Every child demands a Modi government).”
