The post instantly struck a chord with followers, generating thousands of reactions, comments, and shares within hours.
The illustration featured a charming superhero-inspired character bearing a striking resemblance to the minister himself. Dressed in a bright red costume reminiscent of the iconic Superman outfit, complete with a flowing cape and a bold “T” emblazoned across his chest, the cartoon version of Along appeared both heroic and endearingly awkward. Holding a single red rose, the character was shown shyly approaching a young woman standing gracefully before him.
Adding to the romantic theme, the image carried the caption: “Will You Be My Valentine?” while Along accompanied the post with a playful Hindi phrase, “बनोगी क्या? 😋” (Will you be?), injecting his trademark humour into the Valentine's Day gesture.
To complete the romantic atmosphere, the post featured the popular song “Meri Banogi Kya” by singers Rito Riba and Rajat Nagpal, lending the illustration a distinctly Bollywood-inspired feel. The combination of humour, music, and creativity transformed what could have been a simple festive greeting into a memorable social media moment.
As expected, netizens responded enthusiastically. The comments section quickly filled with laughing emojis, heart reactions, humorous replies, and playful banter. Some followers jokingly accepted the minister’s proposal, while others praised his ability to remain approachable and entertaining despite holding a prominent public office.
Many social media users highlighted how Along’s posts often transcend politics, allowing him to connect with younger audiences and the general public on a more personal level. Several commenters noted that his ability to laugh at himself and embrace humour has made him one of the most recognizable political personalities from the Northeast on social media.
