INDIAN industrialist Anand Mahindra is known for his humour-filled takes on social media platform Twitter. He even responds to his baiters in funny ways and that only adds more to his almost 10 million followers.
On Tuesday (12), the Mahindra Group chairman once again showed his cheeky side on Twitter with a take on the ongoing political crisis in the UK, which is frantically looking for a new prime minister after Boris Johnson stepped down last week.
Mahindra shared a meme on 10 Downing Street, the official residence of the British premier, on Twitter and there, the door of the building was seen adorned with mango leaves and the red swastika sign on the pillars. Those ingredients and signs are generally used in the Hindu ritual of grih-pravesh or house warming.
The businessman was clearly suggesting that an Indian-origin individual in the form of Rishi Sunak could be the next prime minister. And if it became a reality, it would happen in the year when India turned 75 years as an independent nation.
“The future of 10 Downing Street? The famed British humour is now laced with Desi humour," the photo caption reads.
The tweet was retweeted more than 1,400 times and liked over 18,000 times.
Twitterati also responded to Mahindra's take with equally funny takes. Here are some:

Pilgrims gather at the Baltal Base Camp near Domel, en route to the sacred Amarnath cave in Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, India, on July 29, 2025. The annual Amarnath Yatra, which began on July 3, proceeds under heightened security following a deadly terror attack in Pahalgam that claimed the lives of 25 tourists and a local pony handler. Security forces have been deployed in large numbers across the pilgrimage route, with checkpoints, surveillance, and restrictions in place to safeguard the thousands of devotees undertaking the arduous journey. The Amarnath Yatra is one of the most important Hindu pilgrimages, drawing worshippers from across India to the high-altitude Himalayan shrine dedicated to Lord Shiva. Despite the threat of violence and challenging terrain, pilgrims continue their spiritual trek, determined to complete the sacred journey under the shadow of grief and resilience.Getty Images
