As per the analysis of data on social media for the last one month, RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav was growing in popularity on social media ranking. Over 28% people had high positive sentiments for Yadav, whereas around 19% people had negative sentiments about the former Bihar chief minister Lalu Prasad Yadav’s son. The sentiments were quite high in the third and fourth week of October.
On the other hand, chief minister Nitish Kumar’s positive sentiment analysis was at an all-time low of 5%, while his negative sentiment analysis was at an all-time high of 20%.
Deputy CM Sushil Kumar Modi’s positive sentiment analysis was at a dismal 3% and negative sentiments at a high of 15%. Prior to elections, the senior BJP leader was faring even worse.
However, online sentiments have not resulted in a victory for Yadav’s RJD or the MGB (Maha Gath Bandhan), and NDA seems to be forming the government in the assembly once again.
