Pranab Mukherjee joins Twitter as @CitiznMukherjee

July 25, 2017 21:43

As Pranab Mukherjee left the palatial Rashtrapati Bhavan to make way for India's 14th President Ram Nath Kovind, who was sworn-in today, to his new residence at 10 Rajaji Marg, a change of guard was also reflected on Twitter.

As part of a digital transition, the Twitter handle of @rashtrapatibhvn now represents Ram Nath Kovind.

All tweets made under the past president Pranab Mukherjee have now been archived under a new Twitter handle @POI13.

Pranab Mukherjee will however continue to tweet under a new handle @CitiznMukherjee. This will act as a personal account of Pranab Mukherjee.

His new Twitter handle reminds what Mukherjee had said yesterday about returning from the Rashtrapati Bhavan as a citizen after spending five years as India's first citizen.
