The BJP's social media team said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi following someone on Twitter does not amount to issuing the person a character certificate.

The party's national chief for information and technology, Amit Malviya said that, "PM following someone is not a character certificate of the person, and is not in any way a guarantee of how the person would conduct himself."
The statement came in the wake of the Congress pointing out how at least four people followed by Modi on the social networking site tweeted hate messages in the wake of journalist Gauri Lankesh's murder in Bengaluru on Tuesday.
Malviya further pointed out that Modi follows the Twitter handles of Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi and Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal as well.
The BJP's IT cell head also said the Prime Minister still follows Parthesh Patel, a former BJP volunteer who joined Congress and "then began abusing him in the worst possible language". "Our Prime Minister is a rare leader who truly believes in freedom of speech, and has never blocked or unfollowed anybody on Twitter," Malviya alsi said.
The statement came after the hashtag #BlockNarendraModi --- calling for users to block the Prime Minister on the social media platform --- began trending earlier in the day.
