Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday thanked the people of India for their unwavering support in the recently concluded Lok Sabha polls and said that they can drop the slogan 'Modi Ka Parivar' from their social media profiles.
In a post on the microblogging site X, PM Modi said, "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."
"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," he said in a post on X.
Notably, in March this year, while addressing a public meeting in Telangana's Adilabad, the Prime Minister gave the slogan "Modi Ka Parivar" after Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) supremo Lalu Prasad Yadav said at a rally that the Prime Minister "does not have a family of his own".
Top BJP leaders, including Union Home Minister Amit Shah and BJP president JP Nadda, added the 'Modi ka Parivar' slogan on their X handles after the PM's announcement.
