Prime Minister Narendra Modi has expressed heartfelt gratitude to the citizens of India for their steadfast support in the recent Lok Sabha elections. In a significant gesture, he has requested his followers to remove the ‘Modi Ka Parivar’ slogan from their social media profiles.
Expression of Gratitude:
- PM Modi thanked the people for their overwhelming support, which led the NDA to secure a majority for the third consecutive time. He acknowledged the strength he derived from the public’s affection and solidarity.
- Request to Remove the Slogan:
- In a post on the microblogging platform X, PM Modi requested his supporters to now remove ‘Modi Ka Parivar’ from their social media handles.
- He emphasized that while the display name might change, the bond of being one family working towards India’s progress remains unbroken.
- Background of the Slogan:
- The slogan ‘Modi Ka Parivar’ was introduced by PM Modi during a public meeting in Telangana’s Adilabad in March. This was in response to a comment made by Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Lalu Prasad Yadav, who remarked that PM Modi “does not have a family of his own”.
- In response, PM Modi declared at the rally that the entire nation considers itself his family, saying, “Main hu Modi ka Parivar” (I am Modi’s family).
- Widespread Adoption:
- Following the Prime Minister’s announcement, many individuals, including prominent BJP leaders such as Union Home Minister Amit Shah and BJP President JP Nadda, incorporated the slogan into their X handles.
PM Modi’s call to drop the slogan signifies a transition from campaign mode to a focus on governance, underscoring the unity and collective effort towards the nation’s progress.
