On Saturday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi sought to expand his self-designated “chowkidar” status to the rest of the country, saying that anyone who is against social evils is a “chowkidar”. The tweet apparently is aimed at launching the ‘Mai Bhi Chowkidar’ campaign. It is also being seen as a kick-starter for BJP campaign for Lok Sabha Elections 2019.
PM Narendra Modi took to his twitter handle named ‘@narendramodi’ and wrote, “Your Chowkidar is standing firm & serving the nation. But, I am not alone. Everyone who is fighting corruption, dirt, social evils is a Chowkidar. Everyone working hard for the progress of India is a Chowkidar. Today, every Indian is saying-#MainBhiChowkidar.”

The tweet was accompanied by 3 minute 45 second video that begins with the PM addressing people saying, “Your chowkidar is absolutely alert”. The video then moves into a song with visuals of people from across the length and breadth of the country, singing “main bhi chowkidar hun” as chorus of the song.
