Telangana BJP leaders lodged a complaint against film director Ram Gopal Varma at the Abids police station on 24 June alleging that the director made derogatory remarks about NDA Presidential candidate Draupadi Murmu on social media. A tweet was submitted as evidence. "If DRAUPADI is the PRESIDENT who are the PANDAVAS? And more importantly, who are the KAURAVAS?" the tweet read. The complainants told the police to register a case under SC/ST Atrocities Act. "We have sought legal opinion about the complaint. Based on it, we will take necessary action," Prasada Rao said.
