Anand Mahindra draws similarities between elephant rescue video and India's Covid crisis, Twitter agrees
The heartwarming video shows a JCB crane pulling an elephant out of a muddy ditch.
As the onlooking applaud and cheer on the successful rescue operation, the elephant is seen turning around and thanking the JCB machine for giving helping hand.
The heartwarming video, which was widely circulated on social media and hailed by all, grabbed billionaire businessman Anand Mahindra's attention as well, who had a different outlook on the matter and also a very important message to share.
