“The Twitter account @PMOIndia is a national digital asset. It is disgraceful, unethical and illegal in the way the outgoing team handling the @PMOIndia Twitter account has conducted the transition of this national digital asset.
“The Twitter handle of @PMOIndia must become available to the new incoming government. @PMO is not a personal asset, it is a national asset,” party spokesperson Meenakshi Lekhi told reporters.
Pachauri, however, said that they have done this to “facilitate” the handover of communication to the new administration.
Lekhi said the handle belonged to the PMO and not Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and should have been passed over to the new dispensation.
Attacking the government, she said it is damaging its reputation even during the dying hours of its tenure.
