Amid the invasion of disinformation and speculations, it has become the norm of the day to spread false news and fake narratives on social media, as keyboard warriors have flung into action, spreading fake news of a clean sweep by one of the hostile political parties. While results from various constituencies are pouring down like a cascade shrouded in mystery due to unprecedented delays in announcements of results, scepticism has arisen among voters and candidates.

Apart from this, international media have also been smelling the rat while pronouncing their verdicts through their political analyses and debates regarding the elections.
