Last month, the Twitter account of Trinamool Congress was also hacked, with the hackers changing the party's display picture and renaming the account as Yugs Labs.

The account was eventually restored after many hours of hard work, but the party did not issue any statement on the incident.

On December 10 last year, the official Twitter account of YSR Congress was also hacked.
