Taggers have virtually “carpet bombed” Chhattisgarh chief minister Raman Singh’s Facebook profile with strange photographs.
The situation has come to such a pass that the tech-savvy chief minister was forced to make an appeal in his Facebook account to the taggers to spare his site and stop tagging the photos in it.
“Kripaya mere profile par photo tag na karen — aap sabka Dr Raman Singh (please do not tag photos in my profile — yours, Dr Raman Singh),” the chief minister tweeted in his account.
Dr Singh, who entered Facebook on September 13, 2011, has now around 3,000 followers.
In many cases, people have taken their issues to the chief minister through his account. For example, a number of farmers of Raipur and Rajnandgaon district on Monday drew his attention to acute shortage of seeds of pulses in their respective areas.
Dr Singh acted on it by ordering the concerned district collectors through video conferencing later in the same day to sort out the problem immediately.
But what bothered him the most was the sudden flooding of photographs and materials, including the bizarre ones, to his account in recent times.
Some people preferred to append photographs of their children in his profile. Some newspaper reports have also been found in his profile.
Sources close to Dr Singh said here on Tuesday that he finally said that “enough is enough” when his profile was tagged with a marriage bureau website along with photograph of a beautiful bride.
