New Delhi: President Ram Nath Kovind's entry into the cyber world as the 14th President of India on Tuesday was swift and seamless -- garnering over three million followers within hours of debuting on Twitter.
"Honoured to be sworn in as the 14th President of India; would be carrying out my responsibilities with all humility #PresidentKovind," said the Twitter handle of President Kovind @rashtrapatibhvn even as he was completing the mandatory constitutional oath of office in the Central Hall of Parliament in New Delhi.
