Modi’s YouTube Channel Crosses 2 Cr Subscribers; Highest Among Global Leaders

Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s YouTube channel on Tuesday crossed 2 crore subscriptions and is the highest amongst top global leaders.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is the only world leader to have achieved this distinction of having 2 crore subscribers on his personal YouTube channel and leads other global and Indian contemporaries by a long distance.

In fact, the global leader with the second-most followers is former Brazilian President Jair Bolsanora, who just has 64 lakh subscribers, which is a little less than one-third of the subscribers the Narendra Modi YouTube channel has.

Brazil President Jair Bolsonaro ranks second after PM Modi on the list of global leaders with the highest subscriptions on their YouTube channel, with a total of 64 lakh subscribers, which is a little less than one-third of the subscribers the Narendra Modi YouTube Channel has.

Steadily following behind is Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy with 1.1 million.

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

With 4.5 billion (450 crore) video views, the Narendra Modi Channel leads the pack in terms of subscribers, video views and the quality of videos being posted by political leaders on YouTube.

For many years running now, many global surveys like Morning Consult have rated Prime Minister Narendra Modi as the most popular global leader, with upwards of 75 percent approval rating, far above his global contemporaries.

Narendra Modi’s YouTube channel, both in terms of views and subscribers, has far surpassed the YouTube channels of his global contemporaries.

Narendra Modi’s YouTube channel dominance mirrors his political dominance in the country and abroad.

The video views recorded by the Narendra Modi YouTube channel and its subscribers are light years ahead of the views and subscribers of the YouTube channels of other Indian political leaders and parties. (ANI)

'An Expert In Betrayal': Congress Slams Nitish Kumar

Khule Mann, Band Muhh: Jairam On INDIA Seat-Sharing Talks

Amid the continuing suspense over a seat-sharing agreement between the partners in the Opposition alliance — INDIA, Congress leader Jairam Ramesh on Tuesday said talks would be held with an ‘open mind’.

Speaking to ANI on Monday, Ramesh, the Congress general secretary in charge of communications, said, “
Khule mann aur band muh se hi hum seat sharing pe baat aage chalaenge
(We will carry forward seat-sharing talks with an open mind and refraining from public statements).”

The Congress leader added that different states would pose different challenges with regard to advancing seat-sharing talks and the discussions, hence, be held, taking all aspects into consideration.

“The seat-sharing talks are ongoing and will continue. We will do what needs to be done. There are different conditions and challenges in different states. We will be having discussions on seat sharing, keeping in mind the different (political) realities there,” Ramesh said.

While the INDIA partners came together for their fourth meeting in the national capital recently, the potentially thorny issue of seat-sharing was left unaddressed.

The veteran Congress leader said his party will hold a mega rally in Nagpur on December 28 in which it will formally blow the bugle for the Lok Sabha elections next year.

“As far as the Congress is concerned, there will be a mega rally in Nagpur on December 28 with the theme ‘Hai Tayyar Hum’. We will formally sound the bugle for the Lok Sabha elections from that rally,” Ramesh said.

He added that the Congress was taking the INDIA alliance seriously and was ready for seat-sharing discussions.

“We are taking all things discussed in the INDIA meeting very seriously. The meeting lasted three hours. Party president Mallikarjun Kharge and MP Rahul Gandhi clearly stated that we are ready for seat sharing and want the INDIA partners to be united and strong. That is why our slogan says ‘Badlega Bharat, Jitega India’. Congress will do everything it possibly can to win,” Ramesh said.

On whether the Congress was looking to play the role of a big brother in the Opposition alliance, Ramesh said, “No, we are not the big brother here. We are the same as all fellow partners in the alliance. It’s true that we are a big party and we recognise the responsibilities that come along with it. But we want to take everyone along.”

“We are all working towards accomplishing one goal — to protect the Constitution and democracy and rid the people of unemployment and inflation. This is our goal. We want to fight our battle unitedly against economic inequality, social polarisation and dictatorship,” Ramesh added.

On Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra being relieved from the post of AICC in-charge of UP Congress, Ramesh added, “I cannot say anything on an individual. Priyanka Gandhi is the general secretary of AICC and she has had a major role in our election campaigns in Chhattisgarh, Telangana, Rajasthan, and Madhya Pradesh.”

“I am sure that she will have the same role in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections as well. We, our party and our party workers, hope that her role will be as active as it was in our electoral campaigns for Chhattisgarh, Telangana, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh polls,” Ramesh added. (ANI)

Shiv Sena (Uddhav Thackeray faction) WFI

Sena (UBT) Mouthpiece Jabs Centre Over Suspension Of Wrestling Federation

Saamana, the official mouthpiece of Shiv Sena (Uddhav Thackeray faction), on Tuesday took potshots at the Centre over an official release by the Union Ministry for Sports and Youth Affairs, suspending the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI).

In its latest editorial, Saamana invoked the protests by wrestlers, who came out against former WFI president and BJP leader Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, accusing him of sexual harassment.

The protests got bigger, eventually prompting Delhi Police to file FIRs and open an investigation against the sitting BJP MP. He was also asked to step away from the day-to-day functioning of the country’s top wrestling body before fresh elections to the federation were announced.

However, in the face of renewed protests by star grapplers Sakshi Malik and Bajrang Punia in light of the WFI polls, claiming that the Centre went back on its word not to elect anyone close to Brij Bhushan as the top office-bearer of the federation, the Union Sports Ministry on Sunday announced the suspension of the top wrestling body.

With the suspension of the sport’s top governing body in the country, key office-bearers of the federation, including newly elected president Sanjay Singh, a known aide of the former WFI chief, were also suspended.

Taking a dig at the Centre, the Saamana editorial welcomed the dawning of better sense and wisdom, though belatedly.

“Sakshi Malik, Bajrang Punia and other wrestlers who have brought glory to the country at the international level have been fighting against the misrule of former federation president and MP Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh for a year and have been raising their voices against the sexual exploitation of our women wrestlers. They resorted to every manner of protest in their relentless pursuit of justice for the victimised wrestlers. However, the government, under the leadership of PM (Narendra) Modi continued to turn a deaf ear to their cries for justice. Last year, a protest by women wrestlers at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar was broken up by the police. The police cracked down on peaceful protesters in the middle of the night and used force to crush their movement for justice,” the editorial read.

“Could the Modi government have allowed the controversy surrounding the national wrestling federation to hurt its prospects in the forthcoming Lok Sabha elections? However, the Centre had been paying lip service to the wrestlers and was not sympathetic to their movement and demands. Brij Bhushan continued to have the blessings of the ruling party. However, sensing a grim fallout with the elections around the corner, the Modi government came to a belated realisation and suspended the newly elected president of the wrestling federation, Sanjay Singh. Had there been more time for the general elections, the government would have still been in a state of slumber in the matter,” the editorial read.

However, it added that though the suspension of the WFI marks a major victory for the wrestlers, their struggle must continue and they mustn’t stop fighting for justice.

“The suspension of the National Wrestling Federation along with the new office bearers has brought a measure of relief to the protesting wrestlers but the struggle for the larger cause must continue. The wrestlers and the lovers and followers of the sport mustn’t stop at this. Brij Bhushan, who came under the scanner over his actions, has mellowed down and his influence has reduced as well. This is a good sign for Indian wrestling. However, the suspension of the national wrestling federation is the only first victory in a long struggle,” the editorial read.

The decision to suspend the sport’s premier governing body in the country came close on the heels of newly elected WFI president Sanjay Singh announcing the hosting of the U-15 and U-20 nationals at Nandini Nagar in the Gonda district of Uttar Pradesh by the end of the year.

Further, the Union Sports Ministry on Sunday instructed the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) to form an ad-hoc committee to manage and control the affairs of the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI), as per a source from the ministry.

Earlier, Olympian Sakshi Malik announced her retirement from wrestling at an emotional press briefing, claiming that the Centre went back on its word to not install an aide of Brij Bhushan as an office-bearer of the wrestling federation.

Later, voicing his misgivings over the election of Sanjay Singh as the new WFI chief, fellow Olympian Bajrang Punia returned his Padma Shri in protest.

The star wrestlers earlier led a protest by wrestlers who came out against Brij Bhushan, accusing him of sexual harassment. (ANI)
