A Global First! PM Modi hits 100 million on Instagram, far ahead of Trump and global peers

In a significant achievement for digital diplomacy, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has become the first global leader to surpass 100 million followers on Instagram. This milestone not only highlights Modi's immense popularity but also reflects the growing influence of social media in politics. With this landmark, he has more than doubled the follower count of former U.S. President Donald Trump and outpaces the combined total of the next five political figures worldwide. Modi's adept use of social media platforms has played a crucial role in shaping public perception and engagement, especially during crucial elections and national events. His ability to connect with a vast audience through visual storytelling and direct communication has set a benchmark for leaders globally. As social media continues to evolve, Modi's achievement underscores the importance of these platforms in modern governance and political strategy, marking a new era in how leaders engage with citizens around the world.
