In bikini, model Poonam Pandey welcomes PMO on Twitter


NEW DELHI: She has always found innovative ways to grab eyeballs. Last year she tried to get the Indian cricket team to perform better by offering to strip if they won the World Cup. While Dhoni's men fulfilled their mission, she did not make good her promise, citing threats from right-wing organisations.
Now with the Indian cricket team turning out one dismal performance after another in Australia, Ms Pandey has no time for Team India. This time, the Mumbai-based model and reality TV star has aimed for the high corridors of power welcoming the freshest on Twitter - the official @PMOIndia account for the Prime Minister's Office. The PMO had sent out its firsttweet on Monday.
"#iHeard that @PMOIndia is on Twitter. Does he knows (sic) that @iPoonamPandey is on Twitter too...so a welcoming pic'" she tweeted Tuesday evening, attaching a picture of her in a white bikini with it.
Even after getting over 50 retweets, Pandey was nowhere close to done. She followed it up with another tweet later last afternoon with a picture of her in a dress holding a small flag of India. "#RepublicDayPIC Tweethearts!! Sharing a (sic) old pic...2 years back! Perfect welcome @PMOIndia".
The response, a mixture of mild amusement and light-hearted encouragement, also had those with a funny bone complaining of her being overdressed in the pictures.
