If you have been following Indian Prime Minister's office on twitter lately, you would probably already have noticed. For all others, here goes the news:
The official twitter handle of PM office, @PMOindia has been archived and renamed to @PMOIndiaArchive and new handle @PMOindia has been created for the new PMO.
The old twitter account had 1.24 M followers.
The new twitter handle has not yet been verified by twitter, even then, it has 11.2K followers as of writing this. The new handle has not yet tweeted anything, neither it has followed anyone yet.
However, all this incident of archiving and creating new handle was almost a scandal ;). And everyone is blaming Dr. Manmohan Singh's media advisor @PankajPachauri for his less than wise decisions in handling institutional accounts.
