Dhurandhar Modi: India's PM stands tallest in social media battlefield

New Delhi,UPDATED: Jun 10, 2026 21:11 IST

Prime Minister Narendra Modi just made history. He became the country’s longest-serving prime minister, surpassing Jawaharlal Nehru’s tenure of 4,398 days on June 10.

Since 2014, the Bharatiya Janata Party under Modi has decimated every major political party in India. Similarly, on social media, Modi has wooshed past all his rivals at home — and most of his global peers!

For example, he has 106.9 million followers on X, the highest in India and the fifth highest in the world.

With a meteoric rise across platforms, Modi has proven that he is not just the most popular leader in India, but also a Dhurandhar of social media.
