Modi’s wax statue mocked on Twitter

Madame Tussauds announced on Wednesday that a wax statue of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi would be unveiled in April.

The company said that the statue would allow guests to stand “shoulder to shoulder” with Mr Modi and even grab a selfie with him.

It added that Mr Modi had a “massive social media presence” and there was “intense public interest” in him.

Indian social media was quick to jump on the opportunity to poke some fun.

Many tweets addressed Modi’s legendary love for selfies, photo opportunities and cameras in general.
