Having won the trust vote with an overwhelming majority – 325 of 451 votes – Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday took to Twitter to thank the countrymen for reposing their faith in him and the Bharatiya Janata Party.
While Modi’s oratory skills have won hearts across the country, one follower had an axe to grind with him. The user with handle @svagarwal wrote: “Only one thing Modiji, u should smile more often!! Baaki sab mast hai.”
“Point taken,” replied the PM, acknowledging the user’s observation. And he promised to do it more often.
In another sweet gesture, he responded to a schoolgirl whose father shared her essay on Swachh Bharat. “Happy to read this. Please congratulate her on my behalf. Amazing to see such high levels of awareness and passion among our youngsters for Swachhata,” the PM wrote.
