In a meeting that left many of the rebel Trinamool Congress (TMC) MPs stunned, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday met all 19 members of the breakaway group at his residence 7 LKM, assuring them of his unwavering support.
But the biggest surprise came as the meeting ended over morning tea. Before the MPs departed, the Prime Minister personally handed each of them an A4 size one report card in envelope containing a personalised digital performance report.
Far from being a conventional political briefing, the report card detailed each MP’s digital footprint over the past 90 days. It included their activity across social media platforms such as X, Instagram and Facebook, highlighting their engagement, outreach and online presence.
Several MPs were taken aback by the level of detail in the reports, with many admitting they had not expected such meticulous monitoring of their public and digital engagement.
The exercise underscored the Prime Minister’s emphasis on digital outreach and reflected the seriousness with which the government tracks the public and social media engagement of elected representatives.
