"From now on, I have a NMEP - no more explanations policy. Whatever I have said, I won't explain it," he wrote.
Mr Bhagat prefaced this assertion by explaining that he is not aligned to any political party but is often accused of being so.
"...on social media, I will have NMEP, and that will lead for some to respect me more. So NMEP saves me time, gets me more respect and gives me more mental peace - it is great!" he concluded.

Many praised Mr Bhagat for his new policy. "Good job Chetan! Appreciate it. Live your life the way you want!" wrote one Facebook user.
Well said @chetan_bhagat ur stand is welcome. I enjoy your views though may not agree always. Agreeing to disagree on some of ur views is politeness in my view and disagreeing on all ur views only means we are parallel lines & will never meet nor cross! https://t.co/H935CdvLjr
