PM Modi is the ‘Rare Leader’ Who Never Blocks or Unfollows Anyone, Says BJP

BJP has called the controversy regarding #BlockNarendraModi as ‘mischievous and contorted’ even as its IT head on Thursday dragged Indian National Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal into the raging debate over who PM Modi follows on Twitter.

In a statement issued, BJP IT head Amit Malviya claims that Modi is the ‘only leader’ who openly engages with people on social media. Malviya also goes on to say that PM Modi is the ‘rare leader’ who believes in the freedom of expression and never blocked or unfollowed anyone on Twitter.

Referring to opposition leaders followed by PM Modi, Malviya claims PM follows Rahul Gandhi even though he is ‘an accused in loot and fraud’. Training his guns on Delhi CM Kejriwal, Malviya said “PM also follows Arvind Kejriwal who abused him on Twitter and told a woman ‘settle kar lo’ when she complained of a party member molesting her”.

Malviya ends the statement saying that the entire episode is “not only farcical and fake, but also an exhibit of selective right to freedom of expression”.
