People Are Not Happy About BJP Sharing The Trailer Of 'The Accidental Prime Minister'


You know what's weird? The official Twitter account of a political party sharing a movie trailer. I don't think that has been done ever before, but BJP is here to break all the rules, apparently. The trailer of 'The Accidental Prime Minister' dropped yesterday and has obviously gotten a lot of shares online but the most important, talked about share came from BJP. 

Along with the trailer, the tweet also said -

Riveting tale of how a family held the country to ransom for 10 long years. Was Dr Singh just a regent who was holding on to the PM's chair till the time heir was ready? Watch the official trailer of #TheAccidentalPrimeMinister, based on an insider's account, releasing on 11 Jan! pic.twitter.com/ToliKa8xaH

Obviously, this particular tweet got a lot of attention for all the wrong reasons. Some people questioned how a ruling party can openly endorse a movie about the opposition while some questioned the credibility of the 'insider account' since the endorsement by BJP made things confusing.

I had some expectations... but with BJP making this such obvious political movie and @AnupamPKher  seems to be over acting, will have to miss it.. book was good though. Wasted an awesome subject https://t.co/3p76EoMVKI

Can they? I'm still not sure.

Never knew a political party can campaign for a commercial film ... Desperate! https://t.co/JWQhlvetsl

Hmm.

Looking forward to the trailer reviews of all the upcoming movies because that's what an elected government is for. Popcorn time in Indiað¿ https://t.co/E5AfKzsXtH

Yep.

Am flabbergasted, why is @BJP4India promoting @INCIndia in such a mega way! After all, any publicity is good publicity https://t.co/iKNYsiAAKm

We can just hope.

Is it the first time that a national party of BJP's scale is promoting a movie trailer? Is this movie an instrument to humiliate one of the most learned PM's the country ever had... hopefully not. https://t.co/rjNjEHCoPk

Don't know.

It just a movie based on a book. Why this desperation? https://t.co/d3WhSBOKRR

Oh no.

A political party promoting a movie. The erosion of @AnupamPKher's goodwill is finally complete. https://t.co/heACvvyhqe

Okay then.

Bjp promoting this.. wow.. @AnupamPKher  it shows clear political intention and you liked this  tweet also.. sirji I am a big fan of yours but this is not acceptable and also trailer shows it clearly undermines Dr Singh. https://t.co/0I25gqN3By

Apparently.

Movie's official sponsor is BJP?

— Jet Lee(Vasooli Bhai) (@Vishj05) December 27, 2018

Exactly.

Bhai tum kyu promote kar rahe ho. Aur bhi issues hai highlight karne ko

— Gabbbar (@GabbbarSingh) December 27, 2018

Wow.

Now, propaganda reached Bollywood. ð
