According to sources one of the major reasons for Modi's BJP registering a historic win in the 2019 elections is the 'effect use of social media'. Meanwhile when realizing the role Social Media can play in campaigning their agenda, and also spreading malicious information on rivals, some parties have started leveraging it illegitimate way.

Earlier on Wednesday, the BJP had lodged a police complaint against actress turned politician and Congress' digital communication head Divya Spandana aka Ramya for allegedly tutoring her party social media unit to create fake social media accounts to spread misinformation about Modi government and also to shore up Congress President Rahul Gandhi popularity.

Moreover in their complaint, BJP said that impersonating accounts is a punishable offence and that it amounts to a detrimental conspiracy. They accused Divya of abetting the massive fake accounts conspiracy to defame PM Modi's govt. Further when clarifying on the same, Divya said the video had been edited out of context. Furthermore in a series of tweets, she said she was only explaining the difference between bots, fake accounts and multiple accounts to her party workers.
