PMO India, the official page of Prime Minister of India, was made on May 27 and had registered more than 4 lakh likes by Friday.
The page has pictures of PM Modi’s meetings with various high-ranking officials as well as his cabinet colleagues and other political leaders.
Soon after his swearing-in on May 26, PM Modi took charge of the official PMO Twitter account following an ugly row that caused embarrassment to the former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s office.
Singh’s official Communications Adviser Pankaj Pachauri had reportedly decided to archive the old account, to comply with the Right To Information (RTI) Act.
The BJP criticised Singh’s office and claimed that the Twitter account @PMOIndia is a national digital asset. After many followers joined the BJP is trolling Congress, Singh’s office gave in and the Twitter handle was updated on Tuesday with Modi’s details and reflected along with its million-plus followers.
