Looks like, Twitter is losing its sheen as a favoured communication tool of the Indian government
The government departments and ministers are promoting Twitter’s desi alternative ‘Koo’
The recent high-profile example is India’s new IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw
He opened a new Koo account upon taking over the office
Soon, he announced a review of social media firms’ compliance with strict IT rules
This information was not posted on his Twitter handle that has 258,000 followers
Other ministers and members of the ruling BJP also share the same sentiment
All these happen at a time when the US firm is under fire for non-compliance with India’s laws
