Eight tweets by PM Modi which may come to haunt him in the CBI infighting case

Invention of the internet and social media has empowered people and leaders with the ability to communicate directly with the masses. At the same time, though, it has made archiving every utterance easier. The old practice of journalists and Opposition to dig into past controversial statements to produce stories and score political points has gone.

Weigh your words carefully is an old saying. This is true for people in public life. Older tweets, Facebook post, photos may come back to haunt you.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi too has made several comments against the government on Twitter when he was in the Opposition. Often his opponents dig them out to use these against him — something also seen in the ongoing case of infighting within Central Bureau of Investigation. From his Twitter timeline, we bring to you eight tweets of Prime Minister Modi on CBI which may come to haunt him in the coming days.
