Use mobile phones to connect with voters for 2019 polls: PM to BJP MPs


New Delhi, Mar 31 (PTI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi today said mobile phones will be the biggest interface between politicians and voters in the 2019 Lok Sabha polls and asked BJP MPs to use them extensively to stay in touch with people.

At a meeting with MPs from different states, his fifth and last such exercise, he told them that they need to have presence on digital platforms, especially through mobile phones, and use Facebook, Whatsapp and Twitter extensively.

"Interface is changing and we all need to have presence on digital platforms, social media and especially mobile. Each one of our leaders and MPs should have presence on Facebook, Twitter and Whatsapp among others.

"In 2019, digital platform will assume greater importance and mobile phones will be the greatest interface to communicate and convey your message to the people at large," Parliamentary Affairs Minister Ananth Kumar quoted Modi as having said.

He met party MPs from Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Odisha, Telangana, Jharkhand and Tamil Nadu, besides nominated parliamentarians.

The digital platform is more transparent and real time, Modi said.

    Modi can fool the people once but not all the time. Disinformation will be exposed before 2019. Hope the CAG report will be out by then on demonetization - a flop show of the century.

    Forget it Narendra, when EVM is with us whole India is with us. Forget the MPs, MLAs, people, anti nationals and cows and what not. Just make sure that there is power or working batteries during election in EVM, that's all you need. Dus ungulliyan ghee mien aur sar kadai mein.

    Digital Platform? Nice way to fool public and voters. MS Dhoni's Aadhar details leaked in social media huh? Likewise modi promised there would be no chance for counterfeit currencies in future but fake currencies were found in SBI ATMs itself at Delhi and other states. Govts always fails to do things with 100% safe and secure.
