X
In recent times, the microblogging site Twitter has been flagging the tweets made by Politicians and Political parties as manipulated, if there are any doubts about the information shared in the Tweet. This time, a BJP MP's tweet was flagged by the media platform.

Going into detail, BJP MP, Telangana's State Bharatiya Janata Party(BJP) chief Bandi Sanjay made a tweet on the 18th of May. In the tweet, he shared the letterhead that was issued on the opposition Congress party's name that targets Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Besides the State BJP chief, a few Union Ministers and others had also made tweets sharing the party's letterhead. The BJP leaders alleged that the letter could be the toolkit of the Congress party that was aimed to target the PM.

'Use dramatic pictures of funerals' 'Call new strain 'Indian Mutant' 'Asking Social media volunteers to call it Modi Strain' Exposed ! Using a pandemic crisis to tarnish our Prime Minister and country for their own party to flourish is what Congress stands for [sic],' Bandi Sanjay tweeted.

For the unversed, tweets labeled by the social media giant imply that the content or information might be deceptive or altered. Twitter users have to get an understanding of the authenticity of the information.

This is not the first time, BJP leaders' tweets were labeled as Manipulative. Tweets made by Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Raman Singh and spokesperson Sambit Patra were labeled as Manipulated.
