PM Modi's popularity surges, becomes world's first leader to have over 2 crore subscribers on YouTube

Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s YouTube channel has crossed 2 crore subscribers on Tuesday, 26 November, 2023, making him the only world leader to have achieved this distinction. The Indian Prime Minister’s YouTube Channel has, both in terms of views and subscribers, far surpassed the YouTube channels of his global contemporaries and Indian contemporaries by a long distance. With 4.5 Billion (450 crore) video views, Narendra Modi Channel leads the pack in terms of subscribers, videos views and quality of videos being posted by political leaders on YouTube. Who is second world leader to have most followers on YouTube? Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsanora comes right after PM Modi to be the global leader with second most follower count. Bolsanora has 64 lakh subscribers which is a little less than one-third of the subscribers the Narendra Modi YouTube Channel has.

Similarly with 22.4 crore views in December 2023 alone, PM Modi’s YouTube channel has 43 times more views than YouTube Channel of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy who is the global leader with second highest number of views in his YouTube Channel.

The ranking of Global Leaders YouTube Channel by Subscribers is as per Tubics. Where does other Indian leaders stand? PM Modi’s YouTube channel domination mirrors his political domination in India. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s YouTube channel managed to get mere 22.5 lakh subscribers in 2023, while PM Modi’s channel has added almost triple the amount in 2023 with 63 lakh subscribers.

The YouTube channel of PM Modi has also 4 times more views in 2023 alone compared to YouTube Channels of Rahul Gandhi, INC (Indian National Congress) and AAP (Aam Aadmi Party - which is led by Arvind Kejriwal).

In fact, the views of the three channels - Rahul Gandhi, INC and AAP - put together don’t equal the views of Narendra Modi YouTube Channel in 2023.
