Her tweet drew immediate responses, both in her favour as well as a few against. She even responded to one that said, "Modi may have misnamed today, but he knows our history better than any of the so called real congress leaders. He speaks from his heart, he doesn't read from written speech like current PM or shehzada (congress nominated pm)," with her reply, "how does that matter? Atleast there are no lies!!! I rather read something out than mislead people!"

Divya Spandana, known by her stage name Ramya, is an Indian film actress and Member of Parliament from Mandya constituency in Karnataka.
