What's the story

A nasty war of words has erupted between Raghu Ram of 'Roadies' fame and the Karnataka BJP on Twitter. It all started when Raghu raised objections over a tweet by the Karnataka BJP and called them out for spreading 'hate message'. In return, the state party's handle launched a scathing attack on him calling him an "on camera bully and off camera sissy."

The tweet that offended Raghu

Our karyakartas get constant phone calls from their families asking them about their safety. Hindus have understood that this govt will not protect them. Fear of annihilation grips every Hindu household in Karavali. Pro jihadi Siddu must go. We must create #JihadiMuktaKarnataka

Karnataka BJP did not refrain from sniping back

Soon after Raghu's fierce reply, the party took him on. It tweeted, "Look who's here, the on camera bully and off camera sissy, who was ousted from a reality show for his anger management issues. If you have any sensitivity left, why don't you visit the kin of the 24 deceased karyakartas and know their pain before making loose talks on Twitter."

Look who's here, the on camera bully and off camera sissy, who was ousted from a reality show for his anger management issues.
