Prime Minister Narendra Modi is clearly the biggest celebrity on social media. He loves using Twitter to share his thoughts with people and Twitterati love to interact with him too. Currently on a tour of five nations in Central Asia, the PM was in Kazakhstan on Tuesday.

The PM also went to inaugurate the India-Kazakhstan Centre of Excellence in Information and Computer Technology. The Centre houses the supercomputer “Param” provided by India and this is when the PMO handle tweeted this picture

Twitteratis found this tweet by the PM out of sync with his otherwise smart tweets and couldn’t resist poking some harmless fun at it.

Folks didn’t forget to remind the PM about the “Chunaavi Jumla” of Rs. 15 Lacs either

Even the neighbours from across the border couldn’t resist taking a shot at it
