Minutes after the tweet, social media went abuzz about reasons why Modi was thinking about leaving social media — hashtag #NoSir started trending with users urging him not to give up his accounts.

The Congress took a swipe at Modi, with senior leader Rahul Gandhi tweeting: "Give up hatred, not social media accounts."

Modi is one of the most widely followed politicians in the world. On Twitter, he has 53.3 million followers and the corresponding number on his Facebook page is 4.45 crore. His YouTube channel has 4.5 million subscribers, and his Instagram page has 35.2 million followers.

The Twitter handle of the Prime Minister's Office has 32 million followers.

Last September, Modi was the third most followed world leader on the microblogging site, behind only US President Donald Trump and his predecessor Barack Obama.

Modi was the first Indian to cross the 50-million followers mark on Twitter.
