NDA ministers on FB |
Indian Cabinet Ministers will be formally taking to Facebook. A lot of them used social media platform Twitter for regular postings. The Modi government`s preferred medium of communication is Facebook, it seems. The government is brushing up its skills to also pass on knowledge of use to Ministers and officials. In a meeting with a Facebook official and the Information and Broadcasting (I&B) ministry it was suggested that more ministers follow the example of PM Modi and Union Finance and I&B Minister Arun Jaitley to use Facebook to communicate their point. Modi for instance sought suggestions on Facebook before his Australia visit, while Jaitley prefers to blog to make a succinct political point. The posts tend to have a multiplier effect generating interest and participation. Facebook`s lead for politics and government engagement Katie Harbath met with I&B Secretary Bimal Julka and social media cell officials and had a good interaction on how to upgrade presence on social media.
