Prime Minister Narendra Modi joined Truth Social, the social media platform belonging to Trump Media and Technology Group. His arrival on the platform coincided with US President Donald Trump sharing Modi’s recent podcast with Lex Fridman.
“Delighted to be on Truth Social! Looking forward to interacting with all the passionate voices here and getting involved in significant conversations in the Times to come,” we read on the PM Modi platform.
Accompanying the Prime Minister’s position was a special image of the event “Howdy Modi” in Houston, Texas, in September 2019, where he and Trump were seen holding his hand in a camaraderie demonstration.
Sharing the video link with Modi’s conversation with Fridman, Trump amplified the Prime Minister’s vast discussion on the prospects for India civilization, global issues and his personal career.
Recognizing the gesture, Modi replied: “Thank you my friend, President Trump. I covered a wide range of subjects, including my life trip, the civilizational prospects of India, global problems, etc.
During the three -hour podcast, Modi spoke of his solid relationship with Trump, stressing that their mutual trust remained unwavering even when Trump was not in office. He stressed how the two leaders share a commitment to put their nations first.
When he was asked what he admired about Trump, Modi recalled a moment of the “Howdy Modi” event when Trump broke the security protocol to join him for a tour around the stadium. “I was touched by his courage and his self-confidence,” he said.
Thinking about the recent assassination attempt on Trump, Modi said: “His life was for his nation. His reflection showed his first spirit in America, just as I believe in the nation first. I defend India first, and that’s why we connect so well. These are the things that really resonate.”
Setting another reference, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has become the most followed leader in the world on X (formally Twitter) in July 2024 with more than 100 million followers. By comparing the followers of various Indian politicians on X, Prime Minister Modi stands out considerably from 105.8 million in terms of disciples on March 17.
Since he joined the platform in 2009, PM Modi has always used it for a constructive commitment. He maintains an active and engaging character, follows many common citizens, interacts with them, responds to their messages and never blocked anyone. PM Modi has always used this platform in an organic way, without ever using promotions or paid robots.
