Day before ‘Bharat Bandh’, BJP IT cell trends ‘farmers with Modi’

It seems a counter-campaign has been started by the BJP IT cell to delegitimize the ongoing farmer protests.  #FarmerswithModi has been trending on Twitter and includes a huge amount of posts in support of the government and farm laws. There are videos of farmers from Punjab and Maharashtra telling people how the law works in favour of the farmers and how they are in full support of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
A video of popular singer Daler Mehndi appealing to farmers to support the laws and trust Modi is widely shared on the microblogging website.
Many other posts shared on Twitter also include cartoons calling the protesting farmers ‘Khalistani’ and ‘Islamist’.
The Bharatiya Janata Party’s Facebook page has also put up a post with the same hashtag telling the public how the “government is committed to doubling the income of farmers.” The campaign #FarmerswithModi comes a day prior to the call given by several farmers’ unions for a ‘Bharat Bandh’ on December 8th, 2020.
Going by the strategic trending of #FarmerswithModi, it appears to be just another tactic by the BJP IT Cell to delegitimize any form of dissent and protest.
