Former Indian attacking opening batsman Virender Sehwag opens up a false party campaign that has used his name and slams on it.
Sehwag is currently in Dubai but recently, a newspaper advertisement of Rashtriya Loktantrik Party, from Rajasthan, has used his name. After noticing it, Sehwag alerted on this fake news through his official social media accounts and slammed it by calling “shameless campaign”.
The 40-year-old posted that advertisement image on his social media accounts and wrote, “LIAR ALERT I am in Dubai & have had no communication with any of these guys. When these Liars can shamelessly lie in the name of their campaign & try to fool people,wonder how much they will fool people if by any chance they come to power. Anything is better than deceit & lies.”
झूठ अलर्ट-
मैं दुबई में हूँ और इन्मे से किसी व्यक्ति से कभी सम्पर्क नहीं हुआ!
जब यह लोग बेशर्मी से अपने कैम्पेन के नाम पर मेरा नाम धोकाधड़ी से इस्तेमाल कर लोगों को बेवक़ूफ़ बना सकते हैं,तो अंदाज़ा लगाया जा सकता है की यदि यह कहीं जीत गए तो कितना बेवक़ूफ़ बनाएँगे ! झूठों से सावधान pic.twitter.com/ykDa4S835N— Virender Sehwag (@virendersehwag) December 1, 2018

May be some namesake, they are using as a ploy! Even many political parties tend to get namesakes (of opposition contestant) contest election in their constituency to get votes distributed among them 😃
