The 'chowkidar' trend: PM Modi renames Twitter handle, BJP leaders follow

Narendra Modi had on Saturday urged his supporters to take the 'main bhai chowkidar' pledge, saying he is not alone in the fight against graft and social evils

The BJP Sunday stepped up its 'Main bhi chowkidar' campaign with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and other party leaders, including its president Amit Shah, prefixing the word 'chowkidar' (watchman) to their names in their Twitter profile as they sought people's support in the Lok Sabha elections.

Party leaders, many of them union ministers and chief ministers, also put out short videos showing that people from different walks of life have turned 'chowkidar' to do their bit for the country like Modi.

Modi's Twitter profile identified him as "Chowkidar Narendra Modi"
