Fake Twitter account of Mysuru royal family created to tweet in favour of farmers protest

Mysuru/UNI: A fake Twitter account of Yaduveer Krishnadatta Chamaraja Wadiyar was created to tweet in favour of the farmers' protest. Wadiyar, a member of the erstwhile Mysore royal family, has denied that he has tweeted in favour of the protests against the farm laws.

He said, when there is a problem, it is solved by the government. But, it is not right to use my name for the fake tweet.

In fact, he has clarified that he does not have a Twitter account. He has only a Facebook account and an Instagram account.

He said, that earlier, he had complained about the fake account and he will lodge a complaint again, in this regard.

However, with a minor change in the spelling, the account @YaduveerWodiyar posted a tweet which reads: “It’s our moral obligation to support our farmers. Dear @narendramodi please address the agrarian problems. #IStandWithFarmers.”

It has received over 1,500 likes and has been retweeted over 300 times.

The tweet also has two photos, one of a worried farmer and the other of rice and dal.

The Twitter account was started in March 2015 and has 4,968 followers.

Earlier, on August 27, 2020, the same account conducted a poll. The tweet posed a question, “Should I join Politics?”, with ‘Yes’ and ‘No’ options.

The office of Wadiyar had clarified that he does not have a Twitter account. “Wadiyar has only a Facebook account and an Instagram account,” the communication had stated.
