Opposition slams PM Modi for watching light and sound show in Varanasi amid farmers protests; Call him “Nero”
Team Udayavani, Dec 1, 2020, 6:02 PM IST
Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his visit to Varanasi on Monday amid the farmers’ agitation.
PM Modi had tweeted a video of him enjoying light and sound show on the banks of river Ganga and Opposition leaders called the Prime Minister “Nero”
Nero was the fifth Roman Emperor and was famously known for the apocryphal story that he fiddled while Rome burned in a great fire
However, the tale is likely to be hyperbolic, because the word fiddle is not believed to have existed at the time and also Nero had returned to Rome and begun relief measures soon after the fire broke out.
Here are the tweets:
What was name of the Roman Emperor, who fiddled when Rome was burning. https://t.co/LR4XbY69vS

Dear @BJP4Karnataka :
We are one of the biggest losers in tax sharing formula by 15th Finance Commission & UP is a top gainer. Looks like all the hard work done by Kannadigas is being spent by @myogiadityanath on laser shows instead of real work. Only if 25 MPs spoke up for state https://t.co/dQ4Thy5D4z— Priyank Kharge / ಪ್ರಿಯಾಂಕ್ ಖರ್ಗೆ (@PriyankKharge) December 1, 2020

In July of 64 A.D., a great fire ravaged Rome for six days, destroying 70 percent of the city, leaving half its population homeless. According to a well-known expression, Rome’s emperor at the time, the decadent & unpopular Nero, “fiddled while Rome burned.”#SpeakUpForFarmers pic.twitter.com/TgCcPNzJq2
