An anti-Modi hashtag '#BJPdrama' has been trending on Twitter ever since follwers of BJP prime ministerial nominee Narendra Modi and party workers began protesting outside the Banaras Hindu University (BHU) on Thursday morning against the Election Commission for denying Modi permission to hold his rally in Varanasi's Benia Baugh. He was also at first not permitted to conduct the Ganga aarti. Senior BJP leaders Arun Jaitley and Amit Shah have been leading the protests. Anti-Modi Twitter enthusiasts have been flooding the micro-blogging site with tweets calling this protest pure 'drama'.
Here's a look at the tweets by the 'aam angry janta'

Dear BJP, you think running India is a piece of cake? If you start Dharna before elections, what will you do after them? #BJPDrama

Basically Modi wants to invoke Hindutva in Banaras by showing that he's being deprived of Ganga aarti. Low-level politics. #BJPDrama
