As Modi completes a year in office, he carries with him the tag of the ‘selfie PM’. Each outing – whether a charity function or an overseas visit – brings a fresh batch of supercool selfies.Selfie mania might have hit our celebs a couple of years ago, but when Narendra Modi became the PM, he too, fell for its charms. The Twitter streams of our globe-trotting leader and his many fans could fill a veritable picture gallery with selfies Modi has posed in so far – from ordinary citizens to celebs to world leaders, the Modi selfie is now a staple of a prime ministerial interaction. It’s not surprising then that this favourite hobby of his has received nothing but flak from the opposition, given how it is still grappling to get a hang of social media.
While many may mock his title of ‘selfie king’ from the seemingly old-school Congress, the unfazed PM seems to be in no mood to let go of the click button. We track Modi’s selfie fever with his most famous pics that went viral, most of which were posted by the man himself.
