NEW YORK: Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been named among the probable contenders for Time magazine’s annual list of the 100 most influential people in the world.
Time will next month announce the list, comprising a number of leading artists, politicians, lawmakers, scientists and leaders of tech and business.
While its editors will determine the ultimate honorees, the publication has asked readers to vote from among a list of probable contenders.
Modi had been named among the magazine’s probable contenders in last year’s Time 100 list also. He was named among Time’s 100 most influential people in the world in 2015 and former US President Barack Obama had written a profile for him for the magazine.
