New Delhi, June 25: Bollywood film director Ram Gopal Varma has once again landed in legal trouble for uttering nonsense about presidential candidate Draupadi Murmu. A BJP leader from Telangana has filed a complaint against Varma over his controversial remark against presidential candidate Draupadi Murmu.
A controversy erupted after Ram Gopal Varma tweeted, "If DRAUPADI is the PRESIDENT who are the PANDAVAS? And more importantly, who are the KAURAVAS?"
Reacting to this tweet, BJP leader Gudur Narayana Reddy, filed a complaint at the Abid Road Police Station, accusing him of disrespecting the SC and ST community.
"This tweet is tantamount to disrespecting the SC and ST people. Here, he calls 'Draupadi' the President. If he would have only mentioned Draupadi, Pandavas, and Kauravas, we would have had no objections. We, the BJP workers, are hurt at such comments from RGV," Reddy said.
According to the news agency, the BJP leader requested the cops to register a case under the SC/ST Atrocities Act and demanded severe punishment for the director.
BJP-led NDA on Tuesday announced former Governor of Jharkhand Draupadi Murmu's name as a Presidential candidate for the upcoming elections.
