Having followed both @narendramodi and @arvindkejriwal on twitter for a while, I noticed a distinct pattern to the way they each tweet. To confirm my impressions, I did a detailed analysis of their tweets over a period of the past 50 days (1 Apr to 20 May 2016) and tried to broadly group them into different categories. For ease of comparison, I tried to make the categories as similar as possible. Wherever this was not possible, I tried to group them into bigger categories which would be common (For example \u2013 Government Business). And since the volume of tweets over the fixed period were also substantially different \u2013 the PM tweeted almost twice as much as the CM of Delhi \u2013 I converted the number to percentage for comparison.
\nThe resulting compilation threw up some very interesting data that gives a great insight into the thought process and leadership styles of the two leaders. It also gives a fair idea about what they\u2019re preoccupied with. The detailed comparison is as per the table below, followed by some observations I have had.<\/p>\n

Observations
\n1.\tThe highest percentage of tweets by Arvind Kejriwal are ones attacking \/ criticizing others (44%), and by Narendra Modi are about government business (50%).
\n2.\tTherefore, the former spends far more time in attacking others while the latter spends more time talking about his work.
\n3.\tBoth devote almost an equal proportion of their tweets to compliments. However, the PM\u2019s complimentary tweets are more varied, and include festival greetings for almost all denominations of the country. Three of Arvind Kejriwal\u2019s tweets are self-congratulatory.
\n4.\tJust 27% of Arvind Kejriwal\u2019s tweets are about his government\u2019s activities, as compared to 50% by the PM. Apart from attacking others, he also tweets about affairs of other states. Some of his tweets are also offered as explanations \/ self-defence to criticism. While the PM also faces quite a lot of criticism, this is not reflected in his tweets.
\nConclusions
\nWhile the readers are invited to draw their own conclusions after studying their data, my takeaway from this is that Arvind Kejriwal should spend less time in attacking other people, and focus more on the governance of Delhi for which he has been elected.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
