“Feeding my friends every morning is a daily routine,” Modi wrote in the post. He said the animals appeared to realise that he was leaving early and came to meet him before he headed to the Red Fort.

“Special, as always!” he added.

The peacocks have often featured in Modi’s social media posts and are regularly seen around him during his early morning walks on the lawns of his residence. The Prime Minister has also kept indigenous cattle breeds there.

The video offered a personal moment ahead of a busy Independence Day schedule, which includes the ceremonial flag hoisting and his address to the nation from the Red Fort.

Modi has frequently shared photographs and videos featuring animals, birds and nature alongside updates on his official engagements. The latest post again highlighted his daily interaction with the animals at his residence, giving followers a rare glimpse of his routine away from formal government events.
