Google fixes glitch showing Modi s photo as India s first PM

New Delhi April 26 (IANS) An algorithm glitch that showed Prime Minister Narendra Modi s photo as "India s first PM" on Google Search and led to much outrage on Twitter has been fixed.

Users who searched for "India s first PM" on Google late on Wednesday were guided to the first link of the Wikipedia page titled "List of Prime Ministers of India" with Jawaharlal Nehru s name and description.

However instead of Nehru s picture the image which appeared was of Modi which prompted people to take screenshots of the search result page and tweet in large numbers.

"@Google @GoogleIndia what algorithm of yours allows this?! You re so full of junk-" tweeted Congress social media in-charge Divya Spandana.

Many tagged the search engine giant asking what exactly was going on.

"Dear @Google you got it wrong. I googled "India s #first PM Not worst PM ever!" Please correct yourself " said one tweet.

"I came to know that #jawaharlalnehru look alike @narendramodi ??" said one.

When brought to Google s notice the glitch was fixed on Thursday.
