Qaiser Ali: Prime Minister of India for half an hour

New Delhi: Qaisar Ali was ecstatic when he found out that the twitter handle @PMOIndia was available for use. He saved it for himself immediately. Little did he realize that his act will land him




QaisarAli, the recent high school graduate, has  expressed his regret for taking this @PMOIndia handle.

“Apology for taking the name of @PMOIndia . I did it because it was vacant . Apologies,” tweeted Qaisar.

“i don't have @PMOIndia account,” added Qaisar.

"I was shocked, honoured, but also scared. I'm just a 19-year-old kid from India, and this is a government matter. When they found out, my parents scolded me and told me to apologise to all the people of India,” Qaisar Ali told BBC.
 
The twitter handle @PMOIndia is now back to the PM's office but it had to start from scratch because all the million plus followers are now following @PMOIndiaArchive.  And this is something that has been strongly criticised by the BJP leaders.
