PM Modi won't give up Facebook, Twitter

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has ended the suspense over his cryptic tweet saying he was thinking of giving up his social media accounts on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and YouTube.

PM Modi tweeted that he would give up the accounts for a day as part of '#SheInspires' campaign to mark Women's Day on March 8.

"This Women's Day, I will give away my social media accounts to women whose life & work inspire us. This will help them ignite motivation in millions. Are you such a woman or do you know such inspiring women? Share such stories using #SheInspiresUs," the PM tweeted. The PM also shared a picture, saying it's "your chance to take-over" PM Modi's social media accounts for a day.

Through the tweet, PM Modi has asked women to Tweet about those "whose life and work can inspire the world" and those who made a "difference in their sphere of life", using his social media accounts. However, not all women will get a chance to do that as only "select entries" will get a chance to "take-over" his social media handles.

This Women's Day, I will give away my social media accounts to women whose life & work inspire us. This will help them ignite motivation in millions.

Leaving his fans across the world guessing, PM on Monday said: "This Sunday, thinking of giving up my social media accounts on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram & YouTube. Will keep you all posted."
