Congress president and Rajya Sabha MP Mallikarjun Kharge wrote a long post on Twitter (X) first congratulating the country for the success of Chandrayaan 3 and then rushed to credit Nehru for it.
The social media memes mocked Mamata Banerjee for confusing India's first astronaut with a Bollywood actor and calling Rakesh Sharma's famous spaceflight a 'Moon landing mission'.
With this, ISRO has achieved two of the three main objectives of the Chandrayaan-3 mission which include demonstrating Safe and Soft Landing on Lunar Surface, Rover roving on the moon, and conducting in-situ scientific experiments.
The many reasons why countries are running for lunar south pole landing include chances of presence of water, better astronomical site to understand radio waves and potential presence of volatiles among others.
Chandrayaan-3 mission's Vikram lander successfully landed on the Moon, propelling India to the exalted club of countries who have managed to soft land on the Earth's only natural satellite.
