PM Modi changes Twitter name to 'Chowkidar Narendra Modi'
New Delhi, Mar 17 (IBNS): A day after launching the "Main Bhi Chowkidar" campaign on the social media, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday added a prefix "Chowkidaar" to the title of his Twitter account.
The title now reads "Chowkidar Narendra Modi".
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) President Amit Shah has also followed the PM and changed the title to "Chowkidar Amit Shah".
The trend now seems to be viral among the BJP leaders with Union Ministers Piyush Goyal, JP Nadda, Harsh Vardhan and Dharmendra Pradhan following the suit.
"The one who made cleanliness a moral value... he is called Chowkidar #MainBhiChowkidar. Say with all your heart #ChowkidarPhirSe (watchman again)," Amit Shah tweeted after senior BJP leaders changed their names."
जिसने बनाया सà¥à¤µà¤šà¥à¤›à¤¤à¤¾ को संसà¥à¤•à¤¾à¤°...वो है चौकीदार। #MainBhiChowkidar

On Saturday, Modi shared a video on social media which highlighted the initiatives of his government.
He shared the video with the caption that read: "our Chowkidar is standing firm & serving the nation.But, I am not alone. Everyone who is fighting corruption, dirt, social evils is a Chowkidar. Everyone working hard for the progress of India is a Chowkidar. Today, every Indian is saying-#MainBhiChowkidar."

But, I am not alone.
Everyone who is fighting corruption, dirt, social evils is a Chowkidar.
Everyone working hard for the progress of India is a Chowkidar.
Today, every Indian is saying-#MainBhiChowkidar
The video ends with an appeal to join PM Modi's "Main Bhi Chowkidar" programme on Mar 31.
The campaign was launched amid Congress president Rahul Gandhi's attacks targeting the PM over numerous issues with the slogan "Chowkidar Chor Hai (watchman is a thief)".
Rahul Gandhi had tried to corner the PM over the campaign and said his approach was 'defensive'.
"Defensive tweet Mr Modi! You feeling a little guilty today?," Gandhi had tweeted.
Defensive tweet Mr Modi!
