WATCH: Crowd gets perked up as Narendra Modi says Kylian Mbappe has more following in India than in France
Narendra Modi, the prime minister of India, is currently attending an Indian Community event in France. He made a reference to Kylian Mbappe, the captain of the French football team when addressing the crowd at this occasion in France. Speaking about Mbappe’s appreciation among Indian football fans, Modi emphasised the popularity of football in India. The Indian PM continued by claiming that Mbappe is more loved in India than in France.
Mbappe has made all the correct moves in the world of football by showcasing his abilities in the French League and on the international stage for France. The world took note and gaped in amazement at Mbappe’s magic that he produced on the football pitch when he raced like the wind and scored a blistering hat trick against Argentina on the night of the 2022 FIFA World Cup final in Qatar. But Argentina prevailed 4-2 on penalties in a tense finale.
Here is the video:
Narendra Modi has to invoke Kylian Mbappe in order to give traction to his speech. Both these communities are targeted by his party members and leaders blatantly with divisive and communal discrimination. Never has India seen such a dishonest and lying Prime Minister. https://t.co/vkgBgipNdX

Indian PM Narendra Modi landed in France on Thursday ahead of his two-day official visit. Modi was escorted at the airport and he was given a ceremonial welcome and also greeted by the French Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne. French PM Elisabeth Borne put out a tweet saying, “Welcome to Paris @narendramodi. As we celebrate 25 years of our strategic partnership, let’s continue to deepen cooperation between France and India for ecological transition, education and culture.”
The Indian community in France welcomed Modi with open arms when he landed there. At the Senate building, Modi also met with Gerard Larcher, president of the French Senate. Regarding Mbappe, he is best renowned for his football skills in terms of dribbling, finishing, and pace. Mbappe also advanced fast through the ranks, making his senior national team debut at the age of 18.
There are some reports circulating that Mbappe might change hands and leave PSG. Even at PSG Mbappe become the all-time leading goal scorer for his club. In 2018 Mbappe was a part of the victorious French side that beat Croatia
