New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi changed his Twitter profile to 'Chowkidar Narendra Modi' and senior BJP leaders followed suit to amplify its campaign, while Congress leaders slammed this move of BJP leaders
Addressing a public rally during her Ganga Yatra in Prayagraj, Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi slammed BJP saying only the rich have ‘chowkidar’.
In 2014, Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s campaign was based on his tea-selling stint. The BJP turned the campaign to its advantage and formed a government with a giant mandate. Five years later, BJP is banking on the chowkidar campaign.
Talking to Etv Bharat, Human Resource Development Minister Prakash Javadekar said, "The Congress refers to Prime Minister with phrases like 'chaiwala' 'pakodewala' and now 'chowkidar'. It shows their mentality and thought process.”
