PM Modi Tops X’s ‘Most Liked’ Rankings in India, Leaves Others Behind

The social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, has introduced a new feature that highlights the most-liked tweets on a monthly basis, segmented by country. The latest India-specific rankings underline that Prime Minister Narendra Modi continues to command unmatched digital engagement, reinforcing his position as one of the most influential political figures on social media.

As one of the most followed leaders globally, PM Modi has once again demonstrated his strong online presence. According to engagement data shared by X for the last 30 days, the Prime Minister accounted for 8 out of the top 10 most-liked tweets in India, with no other Indian political leader featuring on the list.

X’s Monthly ‘Most Liked’ Feature Explained

A New Way to Track Regional Engagement

X’s newly rolled-out feature is designed to offer localised insights into user engagement, allowing people to see which posts have resonated the most within their country over the past month. This marks a shift from X’s earlier approach, which primarily focused on annual summaries.

While the platform traditionally publishes a “Year in Review” highlighting the most impactful accounts and moments, the new monthly rankings provide more frequent and real-time visibility into trending content.

The Most-Liked Tweet of the Month in India

PM Modi’s Post Featuring the Bhagavad Gita Tops the Chart

The most-liked tweet in India over the past month was posted by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and featured him presenting a Russian translation of the Bhagavad Gita to President Vladimir Putin.

Key engagement metrics for the tweet:

• Likes: Over 2.3 million

• Reach: 6.7 million

• Reshares: Approximately 29,000

The figures underline the scale of engagement PM Modi continues to attract on X, especially for posts linked to diplomacy, culture, and India’s global outreach.

PM Modi’s Continued Dominance on X

No Other Indian Political Leader in the Top 10

According to X’s India rankings for the last 30 days:

• 8 of the top 10 most-liked tweets were posted by PM Modi

• No other Indian political leader appeared on the list

This data further cements PM Modi’s status as India’s most engaging political voice on social media, with reach extending well beyond domestic audiences.

What to Expect from X’s Official 2025 Rankings

‘Most Liked Tweets of 2025’ List Coming Soon

While the monthly rankings offer fresh insights, X is also expected to release its official “Most Liked Tweets of 2025” list next month.

Last year’s “Year in Review” prominently featured:

• Virat Kohli

• Prime Minister Narendra Modi

• India’s T20 World Cup victory

The upcoming list is likely to spotlight major cultural, political, and sporting moments that shaped conversations on the platform throughout the year.

X Handle Marketplace: Reclaiming Inactive Usernames

New Initiative to Redistribute Dormant Handles

Beyond engagement-focused updates, X has also launched a new program aimed at redistributing inactive usernames through the X Handle Marketplace.

Key highlights of the program:

• Inactive handles are being made available again

• Access is currently limited to Premium+ and Premium Business (Full Access) subscribers

• Eligible users can search for and request dormant usernames to strengthen their brand or personal identity

How X Defines Inactive Accounts

X flags an account as inactive after 30 days of no login activity and may remove it after six months. Instead of releasing valuable usernames to the general public, the platform usually keeps them reserved to reduce the risk of:

• Spam

• Identity misuse

• Impersonation

The Handle Marketplace allows X to safely reassign high-value usernames while maintaining platform integrity.

Conclusion

With the launch of its monthly ‘Most Liked’ rankings, X has introduced a powerful new lens into regional engagement trends. The latest data from India clearly shows that Prime Minister Narendra Modi continues to dominate digital conversations, capturing the highest levels of user interaction on the platform. Alongside this, X’s Handle Marketplace signals a broader push to refine identity, branding, and engagement across its ecosystem.
