After various ‘BJP supporters’ offered free services from Netflix subscription to chat and date with lonely women via different Twitter handles, Twitterati had a gala night on Saturday (January 4) spotting the desperation to garner support for the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA).
Union Home Minister Amit Shah announced on Saturday that the Narendra Modi-led government won’t budge an inch on its decision to implement the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA).
On January 2, to garner the support of people in favour of CAA, BJP tweeted out a phone number asking people to give missed calls. The number was also retweeted by Amit Shah.

मैं सभी देशवासियों से अपील करता हूँ कि प्रधानमंत्री श्री नरेंद्र मोदी जी द्वारा पाकिस्तान, बांग्लादेश और अफगानिस्तान से आए अल्पसंख्यकों को न्याय व अधिकार देने वाले CAA पर अपना समर्थन देने के लिए 8866288662 पर missed call दें।#IndiaSupportsCAA pic.twitter.com/BYPuoU2oIN

Since then, various handles have tweeted the same number posing to be a ‘lonely woman in need of company,’ some handles offer a free subscription to video streaming apps like Netflix and Amazon Prime, and a few others offer sex and job opportunity and so on.
However, the icing on the cake was when Netflix debunked a fake tweet and being their savage self said, if somebody wanted a free subscription, they should just use another person’s account, ‘like the rest of us.’
This is absolutely fake. If you want free Netflix please use someone else’s account like the rest of us. https://t.co/PHhwdA3sEI

After the mic drop moment, it all snowballed with Tweeple making fun of BJP and the cheap tactics employed by its IT cell.
