Imagine Italy’s PM did not even know that Modi was on Twitter (now called X). In a recent interaction, he told her that he had seen her photograph with an umbrella on the social media platform, and she asked him in return whether he had an account on X. His ministers claim that Modi is the most popular leader in the world, according to a survey done by a dubious company called Morning Consult.
Incidentally, the survey size is just 2,500 online respondents out of 6 billion humans who have internet access. This entirely fraudulent six-monthly survey (maybe paid for too) is just another cog in the propaganda wheel of Modi, another means of projecting him as a ‘global statesman’. We all know that India under Modi has become totally irrelevant in international geopolitics.
