Assam Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal and NEDA convenor Himanta Biswa Sarma also added the ‘Chowkidar’ prefix before their names in their respective twitter handles.
Prime Minister Modi had earlier on Saturday turned the ‘Main Bhi Chowkidar’ into a nationwide campaign and said that it’s not just him but everyone “working hard for the progress of India” is a “chowkidar”.
