New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s social media presence has once again underlined his digital reach, with his posts dominating X (formerly Twitter) in India over the past 30 days. According to X’s newly introduced “Most Liked” feature, eight of the ten most-liked tweets in the country during this period originated from the Prime Minister’s official account, with no other Indian politician making it to the top ten list.
X data highlights PM Modi’s digital dominance
The data, based on engagement metrics compiled by X, shows that PM Modi’s posts consistently garnered higher likes and wider reach compared to other public figures. The most-liked post during the period was a photograph and message shared by the Prime Minister while presenting a copy of the Bhagavad Gita in Russian to Russian President Vladimir Putin during his recent visit to India.
That post alone reached 6.7 million users and received 2.31 lakh likes, making it the single most-engaged tweet in India over the past month. In the post, PM Modi wrote, “Presented a copy of the Gita in Russian to President Putin. The teachings of the Gita give inspiration to millions across the world.”
India–Russia engagement draws massive attention
Another highly popular post featured PM Modi welcoming President Putin to India. That tweet recorded an even larger reach of 10.6 million users and earned 2.14 lakh likes. In his message, the Prime Minister described the India–Russia relationship as “time-tested” and beneficial to the people of both nations, reinforcing the strategic and cultural significance of the bilateral ties.
Analysts note that posts linked to diplomacy, cultural symbolism and international engagement tend to receive higher traction on social media, particularly when they blend tradition with contemporary geopolitics.
Cultural and sporting achievements resonate online
Apart from diplomatic engagements, PM Modi’s posts celebrating cultural and sporting milestones also figured prominently among the most-liked tweets. His message on the Ram Mandir Dharma Dhwajarohan ceremony attracted around 1.40 lakh likes and reached 3.1 million users.
In that post, the Prime Minister described the ceremony as a historic moment awaited by crores of people in India and across the world, stating that it inspires citizens to follow the path shown by Prabhu Shri Ram.
Similarly, his congratulatory message to the Indian Blind Women’s Cricket Team for winning the inaugural Blind Women’s T20 World Cup received about 1.47 lakh likes and reached 5.5 million users. PM Modi praised the team for remaining unbeaten throughout the tournament and termed the victory a historic sporting achievement and an example of hard work and determination.
No other politician in top ten list
Significantly, X’s “Most Liked” list for India did not feature posts from any other political leader during the same period. This, observers say, reflects not only PM Modi’s massive follower base but also the consistent engagement his posts generate across diverse themes such as diplomacy, culture, religion and sports.
Communication experts point out that the Prime Minister’s social media strategy focuses on emotional connect, visual storytelling and concise messaging, which helps amplify engagement across platforms.
International recognition adds to visibility
The surge in engagement also coincides with PM Modi receiving the Order of Oman (First Class) during his two-day state visit to Oman, the final leg of his three-nation tour. The prestigious award, instituted in 1970 by Oman’s founding father Sultan Qaboos bin Said, is given for exceptional contributions to bilateral relations, public service and global peace.
With this honour, PM Modi has now received the highest civilian awards from 29 countries, a rare diplomatic distinction that reflects India’s growing global stature and his personal outreach with world leaders.
Expressing gratitude on X, the Prime Minister called the award a symbol of affection and trust between the people of India and Oman, dedicating it to the citizens of both countries and to generations of seafarers who strengthened ties through centuries of maritime trade.
Conclusion
The dominance of PM Modi’s posts on X over the past 30 days highlights the continuing influence of political leadership in shaping digital conversations in India. From diplomacy and cultural heritage to sporting success and international recognition, the Prime Minister’s messaging continues to draw widespread engagement, reinforcing his position as the most-followed and most-interacted-with political leader on Indian social media platforms.
