New Delhi: As Prime Minister Narendra Modi began a fresh term in office after a grand oath ceremony in Delhi on Thursday, his official social media accounts also saw a change. His Twitter and Facebook handles were updated with new pictures, minutes before the ceremony.
The display of PM Modi's official Twitter account changed to a picture of him wearing a light blue shirt with black half-jacket, popularized by him and known as Modi jacket.
The cover photo on PM's Twitter account was also replaced with the image of him greeting cheering supporters with folded hands on the day of election results, when BJP scored a thumping majority and came back to power with a better tally than 2014.
After the oath, the cover photo of the official Twitter account of PM Modi's office changed to that of him bowing down to respectfully touch the Constitution of India with his forehead, as he walked towards the podium after being elected as the leader of the National Democratic Alliance and BJP parliamentary party in a meeting last week.
