Prime Minister Narendra Modi, June 11, urged his supporters to remove the "Modi Ka Parivar" suffix from their social media handles, stating that the recent election victory of the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance had effectively conveyed the intended message.
In March, many BJP members and supporters adopted the "Modi Ka Parivar" (Modi's family) suffix on social media platforms. This movement started after opposition leader Lalu Prasad Yadav remarked that Modi had no family of his own, to which the prime minister retorted that the people of India are his family.
Taking to microblogging site X, PM Modi wrote, "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 added, "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."
The Prime Minister 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.
