The mention of certain government schemes and initiatives in some of the episodes of the television shows was a creative call taken purely in the interest of the public.”
The matter came into the publics notice when a Twitter user posted a clip from Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain stating, “Yesterday i realized Modi has found another venue to advertise himself. i watch “Bhabhi ji ghar par hain” (thats right, deal with it), this TV serial has started to use some not so subtle Product placement/advertisement recently, but yesterday something else happened.”
He followed it up with another tweet mentioning, “Thursdays episode used Swacch Bharat Abhiyan while Fridays episode used Ujjwala Scheme to sing praises of Modi. Pay attention to keywords “humare desh ki akhandta aur ekta ko khatra na pahuche”, & “karmath, sushil, gyani, atulniya, purush” used to set the tone.”
