“Not Befitting Your Office”: Criticism Over PM Modi’s ‘Politically Loaded’ Recent X Posts

Prime minister Narendra Modi’s X account was flooded with criticism after the handle posted a series of ‘troll’ posts – both video and texts – ridiculing the Congress Party after Income tax officials recovered unaccounted money from the party’s Rajya Sabha member Dhiraj Sahu from various locations linked to his premises.

Many have come out requesting the PM to change the “language, tone and emojis” used in his posts, calling it “not befitting your (Modi’s) office.”

D.Muthukrishnan, a Chennai-based mutual fund distributor and political commentator, asked the PM to change who is posting these stuffs.

“Please resort to your old way of posting. For the last week or so, the language, tone and emojis used in some of your posts are not befitting your office. The person in your office who is posting your thoughts needs to be changed,” Muthukrishnan wrote on X.

PM Modi had also posted trolls which many see as “politically loaded, immature, and has no regard for the dignity.”

“Whoever is handling PM Modi”s Twitter account @narendramodi is really amateur and has no regard for the dignity of the post. This is NOT how our PM would ever speak in public. Whoever is letting this happen is bringing disgrace to the PM & his position globally,” another post on X reads

Modi’s account began inviting criticism after the handle poster several contents to the money recovered from the Dhiraj Sahu. One such post included a video in which a morphed face of Rahul Gandhi was seen dancing on the background of multi-crore money recovered from Sahu.

In another such post that drew the attention of the commentators, PM Modi asks the countrymen to “look at the pile of these notes (the money recovered from the congress leader) and then listen to the honest ‘speeches’ of their leaders” (adds an emoji of crying with laughter).

“Whatever has been looted from the public, every penny will have to be returned, this is Modi’s guarantee,” Modi’s handle reads.

Another similar post occurred after the recent assembly election victory in several states when Modi took to X with some emojis which many consider inappropriate.

In the comment section filled with the discussion over the use of language and emoji, one comment reads: “I am sure it’s not only me who checked whether it is a real account.”

However, many are wondering about the use of language in the handle of “the prime minister of the world’s biggest democracy”
