An algorithm glitch that showed a picture of Narendra Modi in Google search results for "the first prime minister of India" led to an outrage on social media, with the Congress asking the search engine to correct the anomaly. When Internet users scoured Google for the "first prime minister of India", it threw up a Wikipedia link with Jawaharlal Nehru's name.

However, a picture of Narendra Modi appeared on the right side of the link.

A few users took screenshots of it and posted on Twitter.

The search engine was swift in its response.
