Bengaluru, Feb 8: Congress party’s head of Social Media Cell, Ramya, Kannada movie actor and former Mandya MP, who has been under attack from BJP activists for her reported statement in favour of holding more than one account in the social media, has on Thursday made it categorically clear that she is against holding fake accounts in the social media.

Ramya who reviewed the party’s social media functioning at the Karnataka Pradesh Congress Party office in Bengaluru on Thursday, said many people have been holding multiple accounts in the social media.

She said Prime Minister Narendra Modi has also been holding three accounts in the social media according to sources in the party.

The former Congress MP said many people hold private and business accounts in the social media.

"But it is not good to have fake accounts," she told the office-bearers during the meeting at the State Congress party office.

It may be recalled that on Wednesday, the BJP’s social media unit approached the Bengaluru City Police with a complaint against Ramya as head of Congress social media unit, for allegedly tutoring party workers to create fake social media accounts.

The Congress party has accused the BJP of doctoring Ramya’s remarks that she recently made to the social media unit - to make it seem like she was asking party workers to create fake social media accounts.

In their complaint against Ramya, the BJP has stated that a video has emerged where the AICC social media and communications head is heard asking party workers to create fake accounts.

"She further reiterates while answering a query that it is not wrong to create fake accounts…" says the complaint.

The State unit of the Congress party said the video that is being circulated on Ramya’s account to create fake accounts was doctored and therefore cannot be relied as the truth. "Let them come out with genuine proof instead of doctored video recording," the party said.
