他为国人办的实事将使得他成为推特上最受追捧的领袖。过了六七个月后就会开始出成绩。

Modi will surpass Obama in a couple of months. Then only people will realise that this was another hype generated by Modi fans. They need to slow down their bots.

please consider the population of india...its obvious to have higher number of follower.hence this comparison is baseless.and even if mr.modi becomes the highest follower in the world what good it does to the indian citizens?

Great achievement after one month of rule! Even though fuel prices and railways fares have gone up and life of the common man is becoming harder by the day, THIS IS ONE THING WE CAN REJOICE! Let Mr. Modi overtake Obama and Pope in number of followers on Twitter and FB! Proud to be Indian! Jai Hind!
