As the campaigning in Karnataka reaches a fever pitch, the Bharatiya Janata Party seemed to have missed their mark with their social media outreach.

A tweet by the official BJP Karnatka twitter handle announced that Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be addressing a rally at Udupi's Shri Krishna Mutt. Attached to the tweet was a meme showing the popular TV show, Games of Thrones' character Ned Stark saying, “Brace yourself Congress, Modi is coming”

Ned Stark, one of the show's most liked characters in the first season, was beheaded towards the end of the first season.

"Brace Yourselves Congress. Modi is Coming" is a play on "Winter is Coming", the show's most popular quote.

The tweet was also intended to warn Congress about a BJP victory in the upcoming elections in Karnataka.

BJP Karnataka attempted comparing Narendra Modi with Ned Stark, but several users did not find the comparison apt.

Twitteratti was quick to respond. Several people sent GIFs from Game of Thrones.

Assembly elections in Karnataka will be held on May 12, with counting scheduled for May 15.
