New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday, March 2, dropped a surprise on Twitter saying that he is thinking of giving up all his social media accounts for a day.
“This Sunday, thinking of giving up my social media accounts on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram & YouTube. Will keep you all posted,” PM Modi tweeted.
Minutes after the tweet, the social media went abuzz as to why the Prime Minister was thinking about leaving social media platforms.
There is speculation that the reason for thinking of going away from social media might be the alleged misuse of it to spread rumours.
Some Twitter users speculated that the PM is stepping away from social media because he “can’t hand criticism”.
Recently the national capital witnessed heavy use of social media to propagate rumours which resulted in amplified effects of riots in Delhi.
Many have also taken to social media to blame and call out the Central and State governments for not handling the Delhi riots effectively.
