New Delhi : Delhi BJP spokesperson Tajinder Pal Singh Bagga temporarily deactivated his Twitter account late on Saturday after an email ID shared by him on Twitter resulted in a minor embarrassment for the party. With the next general election less than a year away, Bagga tweeted an email address asking people for suggestions for the BJP’s 2019 campaign. Little did he realise that it would spectacularly backfire.
While the email address read ‘Phir Dil Do Modi Ko (give your hearts again to Modi)’, one Twitter user interpreted it as ‘dildo’, and Bagga’s tweet went viral for all the wrong reasons. As the #PhirDildoModiKo began to trend on Twitter, he quietly deactivated his account before returning on Sunday to say he “took a break” from the platform.
It all started when Twitter user @ladywithflaws highlighted the hilarious mistake in Bagga’s tweet. Realising the goof-up, Bagga changed the address and shared a new email id that read, ‘volunteer for Modi’. But the damage has been done.

#PhirDildoModiKo and #DilDoModiko started trending on Twitter, with people posting memes and jokes trolling the BJP Spokesperson. The trolling escalated further when they noticed he deactivated his account. Now, people are asking not to use the hashtag by using the hashtag!

Bagga has been one of the most prominent social media influencers for the BJP before he became a spokesperson for its Delhi unit.
Post #PhirDILDOModiKo going viral in the cyberspace, our sources say @TajinderBagga ji was blessed to receive Modiji's call - but for strange reasons he has deactivated his twitter account ?

When @BJP4India or Bagga trends a hashtag like #phirdildomodiko , what does that imply? They're indirectly agreeing that people have lost faith in Modi & Modi has blown peoples faith. Even the core BJP cadre knows that. Hence the desperate, weird attempts.

Guwahati, Mar 29: A VVPAT machine was reported missing in Assam's Udalguri district on Friday, an official statement said.
The Voter Verifiable Paper Audit Trail (VVPAT) machine could not be found during assembly-wise segregation after the first randomisation, it said.
A joint electoral officer was deputed to conduct a preliminary inquiry into the matter, the statement issued by the Chief Electoral Officer said.
After first-level checking of EVMs and VVPATs, the machines that were found to be working were kept in a strong room in the presence of representatives of political parties, the statement said.
"The strong room has 24x7 CCTV coverage and armed security, and there is no question of any missing unit, due to the stringent storage and security protocol with the participation of the political parties at every stage," it said, after the preliminary inquiry.
The missing VVPAT might have been inadvertently shifted to the Electronics Corporation of India Limited (ECIL) factory along with units that were found non-functional during first-level checking, the statement said.
The matter has been taken up with the ECIL authorities, it added.
Strict action will be taken if any dereliction of duty is found on the part of district officers concerned, the statement said.
