Modi's Victory Tweet Creates India Record

70,185 is the number of retweets (till last count) of Modi’s victory tweet: “India has won! Bharat ki vijay. Achhe din aane wale hain. [India’s victory. Good days lie ahead.]” After the PM-designate led the BJP to a landslide win in the Lok Sabha elections, he took to Twitter to announce his triumph. His declaration became India’s most-shared tweet and “the fastest to reach 10,000, 20,000, 40,000 and 50,000, respectively”, confirmed Twitter India. It surpassed the record of 17,257 retweets of Sachin Tendulkar’s tweet acknowledging #ThankYouSachin messages on his retirement in November 2013.
