22. The strategy that struck
the right chord with the people of India

23. Work on image building according to TG
and not your own perceptions and beliefs.
Do the research and understand the
nerve of your TG.
-1: Congress tried creating an image as
per Congress ideology rather than
focusing on mindset of TG.
+1: Narendra Modi worked on image
building as per Indian youth ideology.
Either we talk about his look, his words,
his healthy lifestyle (yoga) or his tech-
savvy image, this is all planned and not
something that happened by chance.

24. India is the nation of youth with 450M+
youngsters and they are the biggest
influencer. Win their trust and keep them
informed about every decision. It helps in
creating diehard party followers.
-1: Congress concentrated on grass-root
level and interacted more with followers.
+1: Narendra Modi interacted personally
with influencers and connected with
followers through rallies and mass
communication.

25. Social Media spreads everything at the speed
of light be it positive or negative. So it is
important to remove all the image damaging
news and information from search engines. As
we say ‘Positivity overcomes Negativity’, stuff
search engines & social networking sites with
positive content.
-1: Congress does not have impressions of the
work they have done online and has never
concentrated on removing the negativity online.
+1: Narendra Modi managed to handle the
marriage and godhra riots with content
management.

26. As a leader one is expected to be unbiased. This
helps in creating a crystal clear image of a person.
Use blogging efficiently and portray the desired
image.
-1: Congress missed to give detailed views on
everything going in country and world this leaves a
room for perception. Don’t give a chance and allow
perceptions to ruin the image. PM was expected
to speak on inflation, foreign intrusion, increasing
rape cases, etc but the silence spoiled everything.
+1: Narendra Modi’s blog portrays what he exactly
want to convey on every big and small issue.

27. Availability is very important. Everyone expects the
leader to be available for them. Social networking
helps in being there and listening the problems,
views, suggestion and everything that nation
wants to convey. It also helps in understanding the
views of citizen on particular issue and thus, it
gives direction in showcasing one’s views.
-1: Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi and Manmohan
Singh, nobody has official verified social profiles
on any of the channel.
+1: Narendra Modi has presence on every online
platform.
