PM Modi not logging out of social media. It’s a special plan for Women’s Day
Within minutes of the PM Modi’s tweet on Monday evening, “No sir” became a top trend on Twitter with nearly 50,000 replies to his two-line post by his thousands of followers.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who tweeted last night about giving up his social media accounts this Sunday, on Tuesday tweeted again about giving up his social accounts to women whose lives and work “inspires us”. The Sunday in question happens to be International Women’s Day.
Soon after the PM’s tweet, the political reactions came thick and fast. Leading the Congress charge was former party chief Rahul Gandhi, who with 12.2 million followers is far behind the PM’s 53.3 million followers on Twitter. (AFP)
