In a significant move, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has joined Truth Social, the social media platform created by former President Donald Trump. This marks a notable partnership in the digital landscape, particularly as it follows Trump's tumultuous exit from mainstream social media platforms. Modi announced his arrival on Sunday, stating, "Delighted to be on Truth Social! Looking forward to interacting with all the passionate voices here and engaging in meaningful conversations in the times to come," while accompanying his post with a cherished photo from the 'Howdy Modi' event held in Houston back in 2019, as reported by BBC.
Initially, Modi's account gained traction quickly, surpassing 21,500 followers soon after launching. Notably, Trump heralded Modi's presence on the platform by sharing a link to his podcast interview with Lex Fridman, during which Modi discussed various subjects, including his life journey and India's relations with other nations, as highlighted by The Hill.
This collaboration illustrates the strong political bond that has developed between Modi and Trump over the past several years. Modi recalled fond memories of interactions with Trump, especially during Trump's visit to India in 2020. Modi has actively utilized Truth Social to share updates, including a recent meeting with Tulsi Gabbard, the US Director of National Intelligence, reflecting on the shared interests of both nations in combating terrorism and enhancing security cooperation as per Times of India.
