PM Modi, Arvind Kejriwal Among 100 Most Influential People: Time's Poll



BJP President Amit Shah was also on the initial list but failed to garner enough votes to make it to the top 100.

Other winners of the online poll include U.S. presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton, the Dalai Lama, Harry Potter actress Emma Watson, Nobel peace prize winner Malala Yousafzai, Pope Francis, Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Apple CEO Tim Cook and Chinese President Xi Jinping.

The list also includes U.S. Surgeon General of Indian-origin Vivek Murthy, a healthcare reform advocate who was elected to his post amid opposition from the national rifle association over comments he had previously made about gun control as a healthcare issue.

Also on the list is Microsoft's India-born chief Satya Nadella, who Time said has revitalised the "moribund" software company by introducing new ideas like Office for iPads and prototype virtual reality headset.

The winners of the online poll include Rapper Kanye West, media mogul Oprah Winfrey, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Yahoo CEO Marisa Mayer.

More than half of the votes - 57.38 per cent - were cast within the U.S. Canada and the UK followed with 5.54 per cent and 4.55 per cent respectively.
