Bengaluru, Sep 12: Actress and Congress leader, Ramya, has accused two BJP MPs of hiring people and entrusting them the work of trolling their political adversaries. She said that one of these MPs is from Mysuru-Mandya region while the other is a Rajya Sabha member from the city.

Ramya, who is head of Congress social media and digital communication team, claimed that these MPs have created different handles with the help of agencies that have been recruited, to launch groups of active trollers.

Ramya, a popular movie star, also opined that journalist, Gauri Lankesh, a bitter critic of BJP, was actively trolled. She points at various posts about conspiracy theories and such other things after the death of Gauri in social media.

Reacting to Ramya's comments, Mysuru-Kodagu MP, Pratap Simha, said that people who have nothing to do get involved with trolling. He said that Congress chose Ramya to troll opponents as they know that she has no work either in cinema or in politics. He pointed out that BJP has no need to undertake trolling as it rules at the centre and has most states under its belt.

Rajya Sabha member from the city, Rajeev chandrashekhar, also has dismissed Ramya's allegations, clarifying that he has not hired anyone for trolling.
