Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi will

on the evening of August, 31 at 8 pm IST. This is for the first time
when any Indian political
leader is going to utilize this platform
to engage with the mass. This hangout is expected to be viewed by millions of well-wishers across
the world. Other leaders include US President Barack Obama and
Australia’s Prime Minister
Julia Gillard, have held Google+ Hangout sessions, in past.
In what is expected to give an immense boost to the
Hangout, Google has invited popular Bollywood star Ajay Devgn to anchor the entire session. Ajay Devgn is
a well-known name across India
who has won several awards
including the National Award.
The theme of the Hangout session is ‘Strong and Glorious India
Long Cherished by Swami Vivekananda’. The interactive session will be aired LIVE on Shri Modi’s website- www.narendramodi.in
The Hangout has received a tremendous response from both India and
across the world, receiving over 5000 questions. Questions can be sent till
midnight IST of 29th August with the byline ‘#ModiHangout’ for them to be considered. Readers can post
their questions on several
forums including YouTube, Facebook,
Twitter and Mr. Modi’s own website.
So far, immense diversity has been seen in the questions asked.
Many people have penned questions on Gujarat’s
development while
many have sought to
know Mr. Modi’s vision
for specific sectors. The
colossal failures of the UPA also take up a large chunk of
questions. The record number of questions reaffirms
the popularity
of Narendra Modi at the grass
root level
and indicates the willingness of the people to interact with him.
This landmark foray into holding a Google+ Hangout session marks a further diversification of
Mr. Modi’s social
media endeavors. He remains among the most tech-savvy politicians who have used social media as a key way to engage with well-wishers. Gujarat Chief Minister has been very active
on Twitter and Facebook. He is also
a regular
blogger, who writes on various
issues.
It is certain that this Google+ Hangout session will
be enlightening, fruitful and straight from the heart. In this day and age where IT and Communications has come to play a dominant role, there is a
lot to learn from Shri Modi on how to use
it as a means
to make a
difference!
