In a move to boost his social media presence, Anil Vij, a prominent BJP leader and minister in the Haryana government, has decided to drop the title 'minister' from his online profiles. He updated his X bio to reflect his personal identity, emphasizing his recognition as Anil Vij over official designations.

With a substantial following exceeding 8 lakh on X, Vij stated his desire to build connections based on his persona rather than his ministerial position. This change stems from his longstanding relationship with social media, having been active on platforms long before assuming office.

He firmly denied any linkage of this decision to recent claims of a 'parallel' BJP unit operating in Ambala Cantonment, a point of contention he previously raised. He reiterated that his digital presence should solely center around his identity as Anil Vij.
