In what may come as a surprise to many, Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s presence on multiple social media platforms has not cost the exchequer a single rupee since May 2014. This startling information has come to the fore in a reply by the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) to a Right to Information (RTI) application filed by Aam Aadmi Party leader and Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia.
Sources said the reply from the PMO categorically states that no social media campaign has been run on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube or Google accounts maintained by the Office. Sources from the PMO revealed that the official mobile app, ‘PMO India’, was designed by students in a contest conducted by MyGov and Google.
