Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been active across his social media handles ever since he took over as the prime minister during his first term in 2014.
In a cryptic message on Monday, PM Modi suggested that he is contemplating quitting social media, adding that he will keep everybody posted on the same.
“This Sunday, thinking of giving up my social media accounts on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram & YouTube. Will keep you all posted,” the prime minister had posted yesterday.
His tweet led to a wave of reactions from netizens, urging the prime minister not to give up social media. Hashtags like ‘#ModiQuitsSocialMedia’ and ‘#NoSir’ remained among the top trends on Twitter.
