A picture that has been widely circulated by Netizens shows a ‘burning’ RSS pant with the text ‘The South India Story’ written below it. Some people have also used the #BJPfails along with it.

This comes as a controversy erupted relating to the Sudipto Sen-directorial film ‘The Kerala Story’ after its trailer claimed that 32,000 women from Kerala had gone missing and joined the terrorist group ISIS.
Another picture that is trending on social media depicts a clip of South India on the map with the text - ‘The South will remain an independent kingdom.’ To make it look like a movie poster, it has added text ‘based on true politics’ and ‘directed by people of South India’.
Notably, after BJP's loss in Karnataka, there is no state in the South that is ruled by the saffron party.
