Noted US journalist Megyn Kelly asked PM Modi whether he is on twitter and faced severe flak from netizens for her poor knowledge about the second most followed world leader.
It so happened that Megyn Kelly, before the interview welcomed the world leaders inside the Konstantin Palace. While she was greeting Indian PM, Modi said, “I saw your tweet… with umbrella.” Kelly being ignorant on Modi having more than 30 million followers on twitter replied, "Ohh really! did you? Are you on Twitter?".

While @narendramodi had done his homework Ms. Kelly had not researched her subjects well😛.
