Kochi: The BJP has fielded protests claiming that the face of the Pappanji constructed for the Cochin Carnival resembles that of prime minister Narendra Modi.
Talking to Mathrubhumi.com, BJP Ernakulam district president KS Shaiju said the face and attire of the Pappanji resembled Modi and that it was an attempt to insult the prime minister of the country. Shaiju added that this had been done to disrupt the Cochin Carnival.
