Nothing goes unnoticed by the hawk-like eyes of people online. Recently, the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi met with the Prime Minister of Australia, Anthony Norman Albanese, and both of them watched the fourth Test match between India and Australia at the Narendra Modi stadium AKA the Motera stadium in Ahmedabad.
At the invitation of PM Modi, Australian PM Albanese paid a State Visit to India from 8-11 March. The PMs expressed their deep concern at the deteriorating situation in Myanmar & called for an immediate cessation of violence: Joint Statement by PM Modi & PM Albanese

It was during this event that PM Narendra Modi was felicitated with a photo of himself by BCCI secretary Jay Shah.
Interestingly, Anthony Albanese was also given a photo frame of his picture by BCCI President, Roger Binny.

While the intention behind the event was laudable, people online were having a good laugh thinking of the person who thought it would be appropriate to give PM Modi a photo frame of himself at Narendra Modi stadium.
Since BCCI secretary Jay Shah is the son of PM Modi’s close aid Amit Shah, people also called out their obsession with Narendra Modi with memes.
