New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi has set a new global record on Instagram after a reel posted by him crossed 303 million views within 24 hours. The video, which thanked young people for their response and suggestions, surpassed the previous record of 300 million views.
The Prime Minister posted a follow-up reel beginning with the words, “Thank you friends,” after his earlier midnight message on exam paper leaks drew massive engagement online. That earlier video focused on the government’s response to examination irregularities and its promise of strict action against those involved.
The viral post also reportedly helped the Prime Minister gain nearly one million new followers overnight. The development comes amid student protests in New Delhi over competitive exam irregularities and demands for accountability.
