#ModiScaredOfArvind tops Twitter trends after AAP's Tomar arrested by Delhi Police

Politicians and Twitter have a love-hate relationship as revealed by the fluctuating Twitter trends everyday. Some days the trends reflect support for Prime Minister Narendra Modi, on others for Rahul Gandhi, but not a day goes by without a political hashtag trending on Twitter.

So when Delhi Law Minister Jitendra Tomar was arrested for over an alleged fake degree controversy, it came as no surprise that Twitter was abuzz. There were talks about how the arrest was made under controversial circumstances with the Delhi Police Commissioner and the Delhi Speaker reportedly being unaware of the charges. Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia went on to say that the arrest was an act of revenge by the central government.

This lead to the #ModiScaredOfArvind trending on Twitter and soon it became the top trend with many people questioning the motive and timing of Tomar’s arrest. AAP member Kumar Vishvas joined in as well, retweeting several tweets with the hashtag.

Here are the highlights of what Twitter is is saying about #ModiScaredOfArvind

This will boomerang on Modi Sarkar. People will not accept insult to their verdict in Delhi.

Given case in court arrest/detention of Law Minister L.G's biggest self goal so far. If backed by BJP they too will find it tough to defend

Apart from the ridiculous way in which Tomar's been arrested, this entire drama is a BIG insult to people's mandate #ModiScaredOfArvind

If #DelhiPolice has sufficient evidences against Law Min., charge-sheet him and let the court decide, why this arrest?#ModiScaredOfArvind
