'Modi ka Parivar': Prominent BJP Leaders, Including Amit Shah and Nitin Gadkari, Alter Their Names on X Platform

Leading figures of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), including Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Union Transport and Highway Minister Nitin Gadkari, and Minister of Commerce & Industry Piyush Goyal, among others, updated their names on the X platform to 'Modi ka Parivar (Modi's family)' on Monday.

This development follows a speech by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Telangana, where he stated, "140 crore countrymen are my family. Today, crores of daughters, mothers, and sisters of the country are Modi's family. Every poor person in the country is my family. Those who have no one, they also belong to Modi and Modi belongs to them. My India-My family, with the expansion of these feelings, I am living for you, fighting for you and will continue to fight for you, to fulfill my dreams with determination".

The Prime Minister's 'Modi ka Parivar (Modi's family)' statement was a verbal counter to the INDIA bloc alliance. In response to a speech by RJD leader Lalu Yadav on Sunday, PM Modi said, "The entire country is saying that they are part of Modi's family", and added, "Those who have no one also belong to Modi and Modi belongs to them".

Echoing the 'Main Bhi Chowkidar" campaign on the X platform (formerly Twitter) in 2019 before the Lok Sabha polls, the leaders of the BJP party have added "Modi ka Parivaar" in Hindi to their names.
