[Even the poll conducted by me in my blog: http://www.sumanspeaks.blogspot.com/, favoured Mr. Narendra Modi as the Prime Minister of India. The results are still there in my blog, for you to verify...]
Mumbai: If Facebook is an indicator of one's popularity, BJP veteran LK Advani has miles to go before he catches up with junior party leaders such as Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi and Arun Jaitley

With only 16 supporter-friends, the BJP's prime ministerial candidate doesn't come across as a convincing mascot for the party.
Contrast this with Modi's Facebook profile, which has five fan cl
ubs with one titled 'Narendra Modi as PM' and the largest membership base of 5,674. Even Jaitley, more an ideologue than a grassroots politician, has more Facebook 'fans' than Advani, 99 in a group dedicated to him.

Even Jaitley, more an ideologue than a grassroots politician, has more Facebook 'fans' than Advani, 99 in a group dedicated to him.Advani's profile, createdwith his blog and web site in November 2008, is under the politician category and is managed by the same team that manages his blog and web site.
Advani's Facebook account hasn't been updated for more than a month. It shows on the 'wall' -- a Facebook utility where friends and supporters can post messages -- which hasn't had a single posting.
When it comes to the Congress, again, its most popular representative, Rahul Gandhi, doesn't have a Facebook account. Compare this with other party young turks such as Sachin Pilot and Deependra Singh Hooda who have 795 and 116 listed Facebook supporters. Both MPs have separate personal Facebook profiles too, which are not accessible to all.
Politicians around the world started taking their online presence seriously after the stupendous success of Barack Obama's web poll campaign (the US president's Facebook page has over 5 million members). But it seemsBJP and Congress hotshots have still not taken a leaf out of the Obama story.
Face the truth:
Name: Facebook supporters
LK Advani16
Modi5: 674
Arun Jaitley: 99
Rahul Gandhi: No profile
Sonia Gandhi: None of her profiles is real
Sachin Pilot: 795
DS Hooda: 116
Raj Thackeray: Over 20 fan and hate clubs
Mayawati: Profile hacked?
Its not a surprize.
ReplyDeleteEsp after movies like Parzania and Firaaq have received such a hostile ban from the general public in Gujrat.
The fact that they voted Modi - an Official mass murderer and a criminal who carried out such horrendous crimes their on Muslims. That in itself sums up the attitude and intellect of the Gujrati's.
I personally find Gujrat people a shame on humanity.
