Twitter removes blue tick from Vice Prez Naidu's personal account, later restores it

New Delhi, Jun 5: Twitter on Saturday removed the verified blue tick from the personal account of Vice President M Venkaiah Naidu.

Officials of the Vice President Secretariat said the personal Twitter handle of Naidu @MVenkaiahNaidu was inactive for a long time and the Twitter algorithm removed the blue badge.

Twitter later restored the verification badge after complaint from the Government of India.

The last tweet posted from the personal handle was on July 23 last year.

Reports also suggest that Twitter has also removed the blue ticks from the accounts of several senior RSS leaders.
