The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Tuesday accused the Congress party of using the coronavirus crisis to its advantage by "destroying" PM Narendra Modi's image. The BJP also claims to be in possession of "Congress's toolkit" designed to "destroy PM Modi's image" over the government's handling of the Covid crisis. The Congress has, however, called the allegation a fake narrative propagated by the BJP and has denied the existence of such a toolkit.

The toolkit, tweeted by several BJP leaders, has now gone viral on social media. The so-called toolkit first appeared in RSS mouthpiece Organiser. The viral "toolkit" purportedly asks Congress workers to use phrases such as "Indian strain" and "Modi strain" on social media and to "keep using the term super spreader Kumbh".

The viral toolkit, which has the Congress symbol on the top right corner, also purportedly asks party workers to use "dramatic pictures of the funerals and dead bodies" while saying that "PM Modi's approval ratings have been high and have not dipped despite the crisis and mismanagement".
