PM Modi 100 million followers on Instagram: Narendra Modi has made history by becoming the first world leader and politician to cross 100 million followers on Instagram. The Prime Minister’s Instagram account reached this milestone on Thursday.

PM Modi joined Instagram in 2014, and over the last ten years, he has built one of the most followed political profiles in the world. His page features pictures and videos from official events, international visits, public programmes, cultural moments, and personal reflections. These posts have helped him attract a wide and diverse audience across the world.

100 million followers on Instagram

With more than 100 million followers, Modi now has more than twice as many followers as former US President Donald Trump, who is the second most-followed political leader on Instagram with 43.2 million followers. The follower count of several major world leaders combined still does not match Modi’s individual total.

Strong worldwide engagement

Political analysts and social media officials say the milestone shows Modi’s wide appeal, especially among young people worldwide. His Instagram posts often reach international audiences and are widely shared across social media platforms. Many refer to this as a reflection of the growing role of visual platforms in connecting leaders directly with citizens.

106.2 million followers on X

Prime Minister Narendra Modi also has a massive following on X (formerly Twitter). He currently has 106.2 million followers on the platform, making him one of the most-followed political leaders globally. PM Modi joined X in 2009 and has used it actively to share updates, government initiatives, speeches, and messages with citizens. His strong presence on social media platforms highlights his digital outreach and direct communication with people in India and around the world.

India’s digital leadership

Within India, Modi’s Instagram following is far higher than that of many other political figures. Regional leaders and national politicians also have millions of followers, but nobody comes close to PM Modi’s reach. This digital milestone highlights his influence in both national and international digital spaces.
