Around the world with Narendra Modi: Take a tour through these images from his FB page

Written by : Monalisa Das

Ever since he assumed office in May last year, Prime Minister Narendra Modi's international trips have constantly been in the spotlight. The PM has visited over 25 countries since May 2014.

From being called an "NRI PM" to an "absentee PM", his foreign tours have garnered much ire from the Opposition with some even asking what has the country achieved from his trips. However, an RTI query revealed that contrary to common perception, the PM's trips abroad have been extremely economical- India spent Rs 37.22 crores on PM Modi's 16 foreign trips between June 2014-15.

Bur what's stopping us from having some fun with his foreign visits? Here are some photographs from Modi's Facebook page of the places he visited since the beginning of 2015 (A few were posted before he visited the countries, when he announced his upcoming visits). So here is a world tour with Narendra Modi, the world through Modi's eyes.
