Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s YouTube channel has crossed the milestone of 30 million subscribers, further cementing his position as the most-followed world leader on the platform.
According to a PTI report today from New Delhi, the prime minister’s digital presence continues to outpace that of other global leaders by a significant margin. The second-highest globally, former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, has a subscriber base that is only about one-fourth of Modi’s.
The prime minister also has more than seven times the number of subscribers compared to US President Donald Trump, underscoring the scale of his digital outreach and engagement worldwide.
Within India, Modi’s subscriber base remains substantially higher than other political leaders and parties. His YouTube following is around three times that of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and over four times more than that of the Aam Aadmi Party and the Indian National Congress separately.
With over 30 million subscribers, officials said the prime minister’s YouTube channel stands as the most subscribed among world leaders.
Last month, Modi also crossed the milestone of 100 million followers on Instagram, becoming the first world leader and politician to achieve that feat on the platform. He joined Instagram in 2014, and over the past decade, his account has evolved into one of the most engaging digital spaces among global leaders, officials added.
