This is not the first time Narendra Modi has taken to social networks to address the public. He has his own Instagram account and is also the second most popular leader on Facebook.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the 18th National Conference for e-governance over Twitter yesterday. Modi took to Twitter early in the morning, connecting with over 9 million people who follow him on the micro-blogging social network.
