India's 5 Most Mentioned Political Leaders on Social Media

4. Nitish Kumar:

Nitish Kumar who is the Chief Minister of Bihar since 2005 is one of the most talked and discussed politician among the netizens. The statement of JD (U) which declared Nitish Kumar as a sincere and competent leader and which also hinted him as a best Prime Ministerial candidate added to his share of mentions in the month of January.

He was frequently compared with Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi as they were conducting parallel rallies in February. The demand of the Bihar Chief Minister for a special status for Bihar in March had once again brought him under the social media scanners.

Nitish Kumar is strongly against the idea of Modi being the Prime Minister Candidate. This further led to more people reacting about him in April. Most recently, Nitish Kumar is the talk of the social media platforms after breaking 17 years long ties with BJP with the elevation of Narendra Modi as the Chairman of the BJP Campaign Committee for the upcoming 2014 General Election. Nitish gained positive discussions for Development and Economy.
