In the viral picture, PM Modi is seen walking down the stairs along with Japanese PM Fumio Kishida while US President Joe Biden & Australian PM Anthony Albanese are seen walking behind them.
Modi pips Biden in ‘optics race’, Twitter erupts
Many may see it as a mere co-incidence but the Prime Minister Narendra Modi is clearly winning this optics battle. Leaving behind the most powerful US President is rare & unseen even in photo-ops.
The photo is receiving lot of admiration and applause not just from users but also BJP leaders who are hailing him as ‘global leader or vishwa guru.’
Many users have described this as ‘Picture of the Day’.
BJP’s Amit Malviya captioned the picture, “Leading the world… a picture is worth a thousand words” while BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra said Vishwa Guru Bharat.

If standing in front during a photoshoot meant leading the world, then the cameraman must be leading the world because he is ahead of all of them.
