With the first phase of elections less than a fortnight away, PM Modi raised many eyebrows when he tweeted that he would address the nation on Wednesday. "Today I would be addressing the nation at around 11:45 AM - 12.00 noon with an important message. Do watch the address on television, radio or social media," PM Modi tweeted.
