The last day of 2019 left Twitterati laughing out loud at the day's No. 1 trend on the social media platform — "#IndiaSupportsCCA". Everyone knows what CAA is, but you would wonder what CCA stands for. We do too. The answer lies with the BJP, whose members posted tweets with the hashtag, attracting witty responses. The BJP members had intended to start a Twitter campaign in support of the Citizenship (Amendment) Act — CAA. They instead tweeted in support of 'CCA', which a Twitter user said, stands for "Copy Cat Association".

Amit Malviya, national Information & Technology in-charge, Jagdish Vishwakarma, BJP's Ahmedabad chief and MLA, and several other BJP leaders tweeted in support of the 'CCA'. Malviya and Vishwakarma tweeted an identical post along with a video. "This train was burnt down by anti-CAA rioters in West Bengal. Those who torched this train didn't have tiranga and Bapu's picture in their hands... They were arsonists," read the tweet with hashtag 'IndiaSupportsCCA'.
