Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Instagram milestone of crossing 100 million followers marks him as the pioneering world leader in social media reach. On February 26, NDA leaders praised this as evidence of his soaring international popularity and strong ties with young people everywhere.
From his 2014 debut on the platform, Modi’s account has evolved into a vibrant hub of governance insights, cultural showcases, and personal anecdotes. This consistent engagement has propelled his follower count skyward, enabling unfiltered conversations with billions.
BJP parliamentarian Praveen Khandelwal called it a symbol of Modi’s exceptional global footprint. ‘His resolve has elevated India worldwide, making him the most admired leader,’ Khandelwal stated, linking it to ambitions like world guru status and economic supremacy.
Tuhin Sinha, BJP national spokesperson, connected the dots to Modi’s enduring people-centric approach. ‘Unlike fleeting celebrity fame, Modi’s has endured and grown for two decades, especially among the youth who see their future in his vision,’ he explained.
Neeraj Kumar from JD(U) termed it a triumph amid the digital revolution embraced by new generations. ‘PM Modi’s reliability on global issues draws supporters relentlessly,’ he said. National Lok Morcha’s Madhav Anand affirmed that Modi’s fame is borderless, naturally leading to such numbers.
