NEW DELHI: The BJP and the principal opposition Congress are locked in a fierce battle over social media posts, calling each other “fake news peddlers”. The matter has taken a serious turn with the Congress lodging an FIR against some senior BJP leaders.
On Monday, two Congress leaders – chairman of media and publicity department Pawan Khera and chairperson of social media and digital platforms Supriya Shrinate – held a press conference to announce that the party had taken action against some BJP leaders for “spreading lies” on social media.
