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.
