Why Obama is most popular Political leader in the world

I recently read an article about Indian Prime Minister  Mr Narendar Modi being one of the most followed politician over twitter. I can't recall but he was somewhere around 6th or 8th position overall. Anyways you could always google and fine the answer to this.  However I'm not surprised by this twitter mass following of Indian PM as this is the results of massive efforts and massive budget being allocated to this social media marketing campaign. This campaign has been going on since he became the chief Minister of Gujarat more than a decade ago. My post here is not about rank of Mr Modi but the political leader who holds the numero uno position.



Do you know who is the most follower political leader over twitter?

Right the US president Mr. Obama holds this position and he is rightly there. No just because he is the president of the country where most internet users are but the fact that he values the people f the country and is always there to offer a helping hand. Today mornig I recieved a very nice newsletter from white house and I'd like to share that email with you I bet you'll agree with me after reading the email.

Please take a look at the email below:


Hi, everyone --

Yesterday, I had lunch with a woman named Rebekah at Matt's Bar in Minneapolis.

Rebekah wrote me a letter earlier this spring telling me about the challenges facing her family. More and more, she told me, she and her husband are working harder and harder just to get by.

So I decided to reply to her letter in person.

Rebekah and I spent the day together -- we stopped for burgers before holding a town hall with other members of the community and small business owners, to hear directly from folks about what's on their mind.

I'll be doing more of these trips over the course of the summer, visiting people who have written me, to spend a day in their cities and towns. Because speaking directly with the folks I'm working for every day is the best way to help more Americans understand why growing opportunity in this country is so important.

So if you've got a story you want to share with me -- about how you're doing, what challenges you face, and what's working for you -- I want to hear from you.

When Rebekah wrote me, she said, "I'm pretty sure this is a silly thing to do, to write the President."

But it's not a silly thing at all. It means so much to me to read your letters. They remind me exactly who we're fighting for every single day.

Because, as a nation, we've made it through some tough times. Over the past 51 months, our businesses have created 9.4 million new jobs. But we have more work to do to open the doors of opportunity for more Americans. That's part of what makes these visits so important -- I want you to know that I'm keeping up this fight until everyone who works hard has the chance to succeed.

If you're feeling inspired, drop me a line. Tell me about your family, your neighborhood -- or simply how you're doing.

I'm looking forward to hearing from you.

Thanks,

President Barack Obama

P.S. -- You can send it by mail, too. You might even know the address already: 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. NW, Washington, D.C.


Please feel free to post your comments here even if you disagree. :)

Anti corruption Campaign of Anna Hazare

In the last few weeks whole India and world saw the power of Gandhian method of protest. a 74 years old man who retired from Indian Army made the government agree to his demands. The main reason for his success is the support he got from the country people everyone including youth, women, kids and old people came out on the road to protest against corruption.

The best part was that Campaign wasn't going at a particular location in Delhi but all over India and few parts of the world as well.

People say its a victory but the real thing will be once the proposed bill is passed and how the bill gets implemented.

Will it cause deaths of Lokayukts like we have seen many RTI activists were killed in various parts of India.

And above all will any politician will get convicted for the corruption he did. So far I've never seen in my life that a politician has paid for what he did be it one doing CHARA ghuatala (Fodder Scam) , Boforse scandal, commonwealth games scandal, 2G scam, Telgi Scam, hawala scandal or Harshad Mehta & Ketan Parekh Stock Market Scam. The list of the scams where politicans are involved is longer. Even if a single politician gets imprisonment y lokpal bill I'd say Anna fast was worth it.

Wishing for a lokpal bill that will help reduce corruption.
