Ranchi buzzed with praise as BJP spokesperson Pratul Shahdev crowned Prime Minister Narendra Modi the world’s top youth icon after his Instagram followers hit the historic 100 million mark, outpacing all other leaders. Shahdev credited Modi’s visionary policies for redefining India’s global standing in the 21st century.
As the epicenter of youth digital activity, Instagram’s stats prove Modi’s extraordinary pull on young minds everywhere. ‘He’s the biggest youth sensation globally,’ Shahdev proclaimed, with fans from diverse nations drawn to his inspiring leadership.
Delving into bilateral ties, Shahdev affirmed Israel as India’s ‘all-weather ally,’ always backed by New Delhi—most recently through Modi’s sharp rebuke of Hamas attacks.
Shahdev dismissed Akhilesh Yadav’s potshot at CM Yogi’s Japan investment mission, his first abroad as chief minister. ‘Akhilesh’s trips were mere pleasure jaunts with safaris; Yogi’s, as a dedicated sannyasi, prioritize UP’s advancement,’ he sniped.
Yadav had mocked the shift in stance on overseas jaunts. This rebuttal, amid Modi’s follower frenzy, exemplifies BJP’s narrative of purposeful action, from digital innovation to diplomatic fortitude and state-level enterprise.
