PM Narendra Modi is no longer a ‘chowkidar‘. Just hours after the results of the Lok Sabha election indicating the enormous victory for the Bhartiya Janta Party.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday evening removed the prefix ‘Chowkidar’ (watchman) from his official twitter handle and Bhartiya Janta Party president Amit Shah also dropped the title while others follow the suit.
PM Narendra Modi wrote on Twitter, the people of India ‘rendered great service to the nation’.
The people of India became Chowkidars and rendered great service to the nation. Chowkidar has become a powerful symbol to safeguard India from the evils of casteism, communalism, corruption and cronyism.

On twitter PM Narendra Modi wrote, “Now, the time has come to take the Chowkidar Spirit to the next level.
Keep this spirit alive at every moment and continue working for India’s progress.
The word ‘Chowkidar’ goes from my Twitter name but it remains an integral part of me. Urging you all to do the same too!”
