BJP slams Digvijay Singh for trolling PM Modi

Criticising Senior Congress leader Digvijay Singh for tweeting a meme that attacks Prime Minister Narendra Modi with crude abuses, BJP on Friday said that Singh's comments on Twitter reflect the Congress party's diseased mind and demanded an apology from the Congress.

Singh's crass comments demonstrate the degeneration of a party that prides itself on a great legacy. These comments amount to insulting 130 crore people of India whose mandate is vested in the prime minister, BJP spokesperson G V L Narasimha Rao said.

"The Congress will have to publicly apologise for the filthy abuse of its front-ranking leaders who in the wake of repeated electoral drubbings have degenerated into abusive trolls on the social media," he said.

Digvijaya Singh's trolling of PM Modi comes amid his party's attack on the Prime Minister and the BJP over vicious messages posted by some Twitter accounts against journalist Gauri Lankesh who was murdered at her Bengaluru home on Tuesday evening.

After an uproar over a highly derogatory meme of Prime Minister Narendra Modi posted on his Twitter handle, Congress leader Digvijay Singh on Friday disowned it but said the words in the tweet were his.
