PM Modi's Tweets, Facebook Posts on Yoga Score Social Media Points

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is pulling out all stops in making the first-ever International Yoga Day, coming up on June 21, a huge success.

After posting a heartfelt plea to make the maiden event a "mass movement connecting people, strengthening the bonds of humanity," PM Modi has also been regularly posting several videos on various asanas and pranayams.

Now as we inch a closer to D-day, the PM took to Twitter to announce the launch of an all new, go-to website for updates on the programme on June 21.
