Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who can boast that he's the second most-followed politician on Twitter, dropped a surprise bomb on the platform on Monday, saying he is contemplating quitting his social media accounts and he would keep everyone posted on the matter.
While Twitter soon exploded with various opposition party leaders schooling him and other speculating and devising theories as to his reasoning, die-hard Modi fans pledged to follow suit and urged him to not give up the micro0blogging platform.
#NoModiNoTwitter is trending on twitter along with other hashtags like #Modiji and #SocialMedia.
If our PM leave Facebook, Twitter & YouTube than #IWillAlsoLeaveTwitter..
