BJP slams Divya Spandana's 'objectionable' tweet on PM Modi

NEW DELHI: Congress' social media head Divya Spandana posted a picture of Prime Minister Narendra Modi standing next to Sardar Patel's 'Statue of Unity' on Twitter with a caption that drew a sharp reaction from the BJP which slammed it as the "language of arrogance".

Spandana tweeted a picture of Modi standing next to Sardar Patel's 182-metre-tall statue in Gujarat, which was unveiled on Wednesday, with the comment: "Is that bird dropping?"


Asked about the tweet, BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra hit out at the opposition party, alleging that "this is the real culture" of the Congress party. They miss no opportunity to abuse the prime minister of India, he said.

"It is the same party which called the prime minister 'neech'. Shashi Tharoor called him a scorpion and now Divya Spandana says that he is a bird's dropping," Patra said.

"This is nothing but language of arrogance from the Congress party for the normal Indian who with his sheer hard work become the prime minister of the country," he said.

A normal Indian appears bird's dropping to them, while a dynast is power centre for them, Patra said.

"This is arrogance of dynasty which is abusing the democracy of India," he alleged.

Meanwhile, Twitter was abuzz with people criticising Spandana's tweet. BJP social media in-charge, Preeti Gandhi said that Congress holds their own leaders of any value.








Despite criticism from the ruling party and Twitterati, Spandana remained defiant and said, "I'm not going to clarify what I meant and what I didn't cos you don't deserve one."


Meanwhile, some tried to defend Spandana saying that she was not referring to PM Modi as "bird dropping" as there is some bird droppings in the picture she tweeted and those 'white marks' were what she was referring to.
