Aadhaar cards for Raavan? UIDAI social media team comes up with epic response!

In today’s day and age, a good social media team is necessary for a brand – whether it’s a government or a private operator – to do well. Social media teams usually directly connect on platforms such as Twitter to address customer grievances and in some cases, give tongue-in-the-cheek replies to the occasional Smart Alec.

A few years ago, the Zomato team was given a huge thumbs up after they responded to comedian Tanmay Bhat’s jibe that their new logo looked like a sperm. Their response was this:

@thetanmay So glad we managed to sneak that by the censor board ;)

On Saturday, the Aadhaar Twitter handle wished its followers a Happy Vijayadashami on Twitter with an illustration of arrows piercing the Demon king Ravana’s head.

A time when the world sees the power of good governance.
Let us continue this true spirit with Aadhaar...#HappyDussehra pic.twitter.com/5KE5uVo1Dc

However, one person decided to get cocky and asked the Aadhaar social media team how they would issue 10 Aadhaar cards to Ravana, as he had 10 heads.

Sir how many Aadhaar can Ravan get? 10 faces * 10 iris pairs = 100 at least? #DestroyTheAadhaar https://t.co/b7BPAxIEuK

This was Aadhaar’s epic response.

Not a resident of India. Not eligible to enroll for Aadhaar.

We can say it's the mic drop moment of the day so far!
