New Delhi, March 31: Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to hold a special interaction with "chowkidars of the New India" in all parliamentary constituencies. The event, promoted as "Mai Bhi Chowkidar programme", will begin at 5pm. The ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has asked all those who have pledged support to the Mai Bhi Chowkidar campaign to join the "historic address" by the PM.

In a statement issued by the BJP on Twitter, the party said this interaction is unmissable for every citizen who is "concerned for his nation". Through the programme, PM Modi would be reaching out to those who have supported his chowkidar campaign in all parliamentary constituencies. Subramanian Swamy Says 'I'm Brahmin, Can't be Chowkidar'; Opts Out of PM Narendra Modi's 'Main Bhi Chowkidar Campaign': Watch Video

The Mai Bhi Chowkidar campaign was launched by Modi earlier in the month, in retaliation to the "Chowkidar Chor Hai" slogan used by Congress president Rahul Gandhi to attack the Prime Minister.

BJP veterans, ministers and party cadres changed their Twitter handles by adding the prefix - "chowkidar" - to support the PM's campaign.
