Prime Minister Narendra Modi has crossed the remarkable threshold of 100 million followers on Instagram, marking him as the first global leader and politician to attain this milestone on the platform. PM Modi has been active on Instagram since 2014, and his follower count significantly surpasses that of other world leaders. US President Donald Trump, who ranks second on the platform, has 43.2 million followers. In comparison, the follower counts of the next five leading world leaders remain lower than PM Modi’s individual total. These include Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto, who has 15 million followers; Brazilian President Lula with 14.4 million; Turkish President Erdogan, who has 11.6 million; and Argentine President Javier Milei, totaling 6.4 million followers.
