Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday (June 11) requested people across India to now remove ‘Modi Ka Parivar’ (Modi’s family) from their social media handles, stating the election win of the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) has effectively conveyed the message it was meant to.
Several BJP leaders and and his supporters in March this year had added ‘Modi ka Parivar’ in their social media bio in solidarity with PM Modi after RJD chief Lalu Yadav’s barb at him for having no family of his own. The Prime Mminister had retorted that the people of India are his family.
In an X post, the Prime Minister said that he derived a lot of strength from it. “Through the election campaign, people across India added ‘Modi Ka Parivar’ to their social media as a mark of affection towards me. I derived a lot of strength from it. The people of India have given the NDA a majority for the third consecutive time, a record of sorts, and have given us the mandate to keep working for the betterment of our nation,” he said.
“With the message of all of us being one family having been effectively conveyed, I would once again thank the people of India and request that you may now remove ‘Modi Ka Parivar’ from your social media properties. The display name may change, but our bond as one Parivar striving for India’s progress remains strong and unbroken,” PM Modi added.
PM Modi also changed his profile and header photos on his X handle. The latest pictures are of his first day in office and his government’s swearing-in ceremony for the third term.
