Bhopal: With Assembly elections round the corner, spoof videos are flooding social media accounts in poll-bound Madhya Pradesh.
The latest video makes a satire of Mahabharata, in which chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan is depicted as Dushasan, the younger brother of Duryodhan, and Madhya Pradesh Congress chief Kamal Nath as Lord Krishna.
The morphed video also depicts senior BJP leaders, including Kailash Vijayvargiya, Narottam Mishra and Bhopal mayor Alok Sharma, as Kauravas.
The 1.10 minutes-video shows the Draupadi ‘Chir Haran' episode.
Chouhan’s ‘Dushasan’ tries to disrobe Draupadi in a crowded court. Kamal Nath is shown as the queen’s savior Lord Krishna.
Objecting to the satire, BJP leaders complained to the Election Commission. “We have ordered a probe and issued instructions for appropriate action,” chief election officer VL Kantarao said.
The spoof war had kicked off after a video where CM Shivraj was shown as Angad had gone viral. In the same video, Kamal Nath was depicted as Ravana and other Congress leaders as his kin.
In the subsequent months, several other parody videos mocking both the BJP and the Congress did the rounds on social media.
