Chennai: A video of BJP office-bearer pasting photographs of Prime Minister Narendra Modi on hoardings put up in Chennai for the Chess Olympiad has gone viral on social media, sparking a political slugfest.
Prime Minister Modi is set to inaugurate the 44th edition of the tournament in Tamil Nadu’s Chennai today.
On Wednesday, the BJP state leadership directed party workers to stick PM Modi’s posters on the billboards and banners that only featured Chief Minister MK Stalin’s photo.
The 44th Chess Olympiad, to be held at Mamallapuram, starts on July 28 and concludes on August 10.
In the video, Amar Prasad Reddy, president of the Sports and Skill Development Cell of Tamil Nadu BJP, can be seen fixing photographs of PM Modi on hoardings, along with two others.
In the video, the BJP functionary claimed that the state had the opportunity to host the Chess Olympiad because of the Central government. He accused the DMK-led government in the state of going ahead with the campaign for the chess event without including PM Modi's photograph and termed it a 'huge mistake.
“Let me remind CM MK Stalin that our PM Narendra Modi is the sole representative of this nation,” he said in a tweet.
He said the Chess Olympiad is an international event and not a state-level tournament while Chief Minister’s jurisdiction is limited to Tamil Nadu only.
"This is not a DMK party function. This is a government (sponsored) event. Prime Minister's photograph must be featured," he said in the video clip.
The BJP functionary also appealed to office-bearers, party workers and those in the BJP's Sports and Skill Development Cell to paste pictures of PM Modi on hoardings for the Chess Olympiad across Tamil Nadu.
