2. Shashi Tharoor
Shashi Tharoor, a member of Parliament (LokSabha), Thiruvananthapuram has followers of 1,128,044. When he got onto Twitter and started tweeting regularly to an ever increasing number of followers, the number of his followers crossed one lakh at very short span of time. Outside of the Nehru-Gandhi family, Tharoor, a political apprentice, had become the first leader to connect directly to so many Indians, and that too interactively on a daily basis.
Tharoor has experienced the blow through twitter also when Lalit Modi, tweeted about Shashi tharoor's profit oriented stake in an Indian cricket club (Kochi tuskers) via his proxy and consequently both the bigwigs lost their jobs. Tharoor was forced to resign and a witch hunt started for Modi who is now absconding.
