A host of celebrities bagged awards at the Oscars 2020, which was held at Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. However, inspired by The Academy, the Indian National Congress (INC) decided to hold their own brand of political awards.
On its Twitter, Congress decided to give out some awards to their rival political leaders such as Best Actor in Comedic role, Best Actor in an Action role, Best Actor in a Negative Role etc.
Congress awarded Prime Minister Narendra Modi with Best Actor in an Action role, for which the nominees were Pragya Thakur and Yogi Adityanath. They captioned the thread saying, "It takes "56 inches" of "sweat and tears" to win this award. Here are the nominees &amp; winner for best actor in an Action role."
