Abstract

When we talk about India and Information Technology (IT) sector, India has always been a great exporter of IT talent. Most of the executive working for the IT companies abroad are of Indian Origin. Maybe that’s the reason why it took so long for India to become an IT developing country. When we talk about IT, two major components which come are Mobile Phone and Social Networking. Not long back, just 6 or maybe 7 years ago who would have thought that the world today will be completely dependent on Mobile Phones and Social Networking. The Maps or ordering food, the Indian citizens completely rely on the technology around. From the poor to the rich everyone is relishing the assistance of the Internet. With this source of internet, many third-parties have been utilizing IT for their benefit as well. Whether its product advertising, news or image building, the internet has been an oracle in every possible way. Politics is one of the most selling topics in India. Since last 5 years, social media is the key constituent for all Political Parties and Politicians for connecting with the people. As per general discussion with few citizens, most of them know their local politician by social networking site than on ground level marketing. Any updates of completed work or upcoming events are being shared by political parties on the social networking platform. Because of this, the hoarding & marketing cost has been reduced. Even a person working as a volunteer in politics has his/her social networking account which is used for connecting with people.
