Mayawati has a dig at PM Modi

Bahujan Samaj Party chief Mayawati said on Tuesday that people feel that Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s announcement on giving up social media presence was meant to divert public attention from shortcomings of the Bharatiya Janata Party government.

Mayawati’s statement came before the prime minister took to Twitter on Tuesday, saying that he would be handing over his social media accounts to inspirational women and urged people to share stories of such women with him.
The BSP chief tweeted in Hindi, “The announcement made by Prime Minister Narendra Modi that he plans to give up his social media accounts on various platforms has made the headlines. But people are apprehensive that this step is, in fact, meant to divert the public attention from shortcomings of the party and the government. This step seems to be full of politically vested interest.”

The prime minister had created a flutter on Monday by tweeting, “This Sunday, thinking of giving up my social media accounts on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram & YouTube. Will keep you all posted.”
However, his latest tweet on Tuesday put a stop to all speculations that he was thinking of quitting his social media accounts.
