Narendra Modi's Facebook fans cross 1 crore

Bangalore, Feb 11: The number of

fans of

's prime ministerial candidate

has crossed 10 million (1 crore) while almost a million are talking about him [

This is undoubtedly going to double the ecstasy among Modi's supporters who felt elated over the news that US Ambassador to India Nancy Powell is going to meet the Gujarat chief minister in a couple of days time.

In terms of geographical distribution, 90% of Modi's fans are from India while 0.6% are from the USA and UAE, respectively.

Modi's FB fans are growing daily by 578,895 & weekly by 859,791

In the last six months, Modi's fans have increased five-fold. While the figure was 2 million on August 26 last year, it shot past 10 million on February 10. The jump between February 10 (9.7 million) and February 11 (10.3 million) has been phenomenal.

Modi's Facebook fans are growing daily by 578,895, weekly by 859,791 and monthly by 2,371,100.

The number of people talking about the BJP's prime ministerial candidate, however, has decreased from almost 1.4 million on January 28 to less than 1 million on February 11. It might be caused because Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi captured the headlines for a week or so since his interview to the Times Now on January 27.
