Why 'India's first PM' google search is showing Modi's photo?

There was a sudden flurry of activity on social media, after someone googled ’Indias first PM’ and found that the top result showed current PM Narendra Modi’s picture along with Jawaharlal Nehru’s name, and most wondered why.
It was a technical quirk. When one types ‘Indias first PM’ on the Google search engine, the first link that appears on the search page is that of the Wikipedia page of the ‘List of Prime Ministers of India’, with Jawaharlal Nehru’s name in bold and big letters, and a brief description of Nehru.
That was all fine, but the twist came in the form of the image, which was not of Nehru with his signature cap and button rose, but of Modi, reports the Indian Express.
Since the uproar, it seems the results page has been tweaked to not show the photo any longer.
Though it’s uncertain when this quirk happened, but the social media suddenly fraternity discovered it early April 25, when someone took a screenshot of the search result page and tweeted it out.
Many others followed suit, taking screenshots of their own and sharing them on social media, with variants of the question: Why?
Some tagged Google, others threw the question out to the World Wide Web, and some others even suggested conspiracy.
‘Very strange type in google search ‘india first pm’ the result will be this. Google showing pic of Narendra modi instead of Jawahar lal Nehru @GoogleIndia very unfortunate that such blunder is done by google,’ tweeted someone, while another asked, ‘Oops Is this Google error?’
