'Display Name May Change But...': PM Asks Social Media Users To Remove 'Modi Ka Parivar' From Handles

Several BJP leaders suffixed 'Modi Ka Parivar' in their social media handles to show solidarity with Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday asked social media users to remove 'Modi Ka Parivar' from their handles saying that the message of "all of us being one family" has been effectively conveyed. Several BJP leaders and supporters had suffixed their social media handles with 'Modi Ka Parivar' to show solidarity with the PM. 

The move came during the run-up to the Lok Sabha polls after Rashtriya Janata Dal leader Lalu Prasad Yadav, in response to the BJP's attack on dynastic politics, said he could not do anything if Modi had "no Parivar (family) of his own”.

Lashing out at Lalu's attack, Modi said, "I question their dynastic politics, they say Modi does not have a family, my life is an open book…I will live for my country.” After the barb trade, BJP top leaders including JP Nadda and Amit Shah and other party workers and supporters added 'Modi Ka Parivar' (we are Modi's family) to their social media handles.

On Tuesday, nearly a week after NDA won the Lok Sabha elections for a consecutive third term, Modi asked social media users to remove the suffix as message of "being one family" has been "effectively conveyed". 

"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," Modi said in a post on X. 

"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," Modi said.

"The display name may change, but our bond as one Parivar striving for India's progress remains strong and unbroken," he added.
