No sooner than budding politico Arvind Kejriwal break the unspoken consensus among mainstream political parties and charged Robert Vadra with a get-rich-quick scheme using realty giant DLF, Twitter has been abuzz with savage humour on the country's first son-in-law.

Nishi Tiwari trawled through the 140-character outpourings to select the most mordant among the humorous comments flooding Twitter. Here's her list.

@Indianclown: Dialogue of last century: Mere Paas Maa Hai... Dialogue of this century: Mere Paas Saasu Maa Hai... - Robert Vadra
