Bengaluru: In a bid to give stiff competition to Prime Minister Narendra Modi who is quite active on social media, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has launched an app called 'Siddaramaiah app' to connect with people.
This app came into being from Wednesday and was seen as an effort to be in close touch with citizens in the run-up to the 2018 Assembly polls. The app has different sections like 'infographics', 'speeches', 'delivered promises', 'videos', 'interviews', 'Pratibimba', 'CM schedules', 'interact with CM', 'Media report', 'blog', 'biography' and 'social connect'.
The app would be managed by a team in the Chief Minister's Office. Titled 'I will talk to everyone', the application has provided a platform to citizens to send their queries and the CM would respond to them.
A separate section 'social connect' will display all tweets made by the CM everyday. For the convenience of the general public, a section, 'CM schedule' would inform he was in town or not.
Sources close to the CM told Deccan Chronicle that this app had been specially created to keep the CM active in social media which is catching fast up among Gen Y. Since it would be not possible for the general public to meet him with complaints this app would come as handyto interact with the Chief Minister.
