With over 17 million followers, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has become one of the most followed leaders on micro-blogging platform Twitter.
Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav has 15.5 million followers.
Ahead of the upcoming assembly elections, a report by social media political consultancy firm Polstrat has put Yogi Adityanath on the top spot, with all others trailing him by a huge margin.
The Polstrat has released a ranking of the Twitter followers of the notable Uttar Pradesh leaders in which the Uttar Pradesh chief minister has come out to be the most popular one.
The rankings have also revealed that Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra is not a popular choice among the public and has just 4.3 million people following her.
On the other hand, Bahujan Samaj Party supremo Mayawati lags far behind with merely 2.3 million followers.
The popularity of Yogi Adityanath continues to soar high and is a clear indication that he is the top choice among the people for the upcoming elections as well because of his unprecedented benchmark of governance.
Yogi joined Twitter in September 2015. Since then, he has been active on social media and often engages with people on the platforms. Akhilesh Yadav joined Twitter way back in July 2009, around 12 years and six months back.
