Just days before the Outlook Speakout event, Divya Spandana was booked for sedition by the Lucknow police for calling Prime Minister Narendra Modi a 바카라thief바카라 in a Twitter post, after linking him to the alleged corruption in the controversial Rafale deal.
An award-winning Kannada actor and a former MP from Mandya, Divya Spandana, popularly known by her screen name Ramya, is currently the chairperson, social media and digital communications of the Congress, and has been credited with raising the social media profile of the party.
Speaking to Outlook on the sidelines of the Speakout, Divya says that fake news is her biggest professional challenge. 바카라Fake news can be gossipy, with lots of masala. Truth can be boring. We have to tell truth in an interesting way to counter fake news. Because of the way people consume information today, it has to be entertaining, creative,바카라 she says. The merciless trolling she faces on social media shows how Divya바카라s sharp takes on social media make bigger impact at times than the statements by many of her senior party colleagues. Even after the sedition case against her, Divya was undeterred and kept skewering the NDA government through her tweets.
Divya speaks the way she tweets바카라crisp, sharp and to the point. At a panel discussion at Speakout, she said she never wanted to be an actor or a politician and that she makes the most of what life has in store for her. 바카라Life itself drives me,바카라 she said. 바카라I love what I do. No complaints,바카라 she says. 바카라Social media reflects the kind of society we live in. If we come up with better laws, social media will change as well.바카라
Divya takes pride in the fact that her team in the Congress IT cell largely consists of women. 바카라(Hence), it has got a different perspective about social media space,바카라 she says.
