Bhakt

Bhakt is romanization of Hindi language word that means 'devotee'.

The word was used solely in religious context until its usage in political context since early 2010s.

The followers, supporters, and admirers of Indian Prime Minister Shree Narendra Modi were described 'Modi Bhakt' by liberal media in early 2010s. The social media dropped 'Modi' from 'Modi Bhakt' and continued using word 'Bhakt' to describe the supporters and admirers of PM Modi.
