Examples
Narendra Modi

20.
Examples
Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi was one of the first, if not the
first, mainstream politician to realise the potential of these technological
developments.
Modi took to the internet around the same time the youth of India did.
 Initially, it started with his website which highlighted important
government programmes and initiatives.
As innovations became available for use, his social media accounts,
YouTube channel and ‘subscriptions’ options were quickly created and a
content-linking mechanism in this ‘digital structure’, if you will, was put
in place
Modi’s enormous popularity, dismally absent in mainstream media
coverage, resulted in lakhs of followers expressing their admiration
through their keyboards.
 In a blog titled ‘Making a Difference through Social Media’, Modi
expressed gratitude for what he learns from these “wonderful people” on
social media.

21.
Examples
As the 2012 Gujarat Vidhan Sabha elections approached, the
‘digital structure’ was readied and popularised.
While traditional campaigning was irreplaceable, what Modi
saw with his digital structure was something far-sighted – the
ability to tap the first-time voter and the youth in the youngest
nation of the world. He knew where he would find them in their
free time – hooked to emails and social media sites instead of
prime-time television debates; on their laptops, phones or
tablets and not at political rallies. Thus began the season of
active campaigning on internet and social media
