NEW DELHI: With increasing emphasis on social media by the present government, citizens who do not have access to internet will be able to receive the tweets sent by Prime Minister Narendra Modi from time to time on issues of national importance.

People who want to know Modi’s views on various events can now receive his tweets through SMS on their mobile phones.

A person wanting to receive the tweets will merely have to give a missed call to (011) 30063006 and the caller will start receiving these tweets.

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president Amit Shah has written a letter to all state and district units of the party to popularize this concept.

For those using the internet, the Prime Minister can also receive mails from people on either pmindia.nic.in or mygov.in.

Currently, Amitabh Bachchan is one of the few whose tweets are being sent by SMS to selected mobile users.
