Influence of Social Media on Politics

Now when we talked about the influences made by social media than we are not very much sure that it will effect or not. As we all know that today almost all the people some or the other times use social media. The day by day growing users of social networking site and sharing everything in one place make them aware of the current scenario. I saw a report related to India that says that “Social media are likely to influence 160 Lok Sabha seats in the next general elections.” This shows that nowadays Social Media can influence people to choose “people” for very responsible positions which can affect the whole country. Almost all the political parties have their own pages in Facebook and other social networking site where they can communicate with the other normal people. If we think in a different way, than it’s very good starting to choose any responsible person for the responsible position. It has both positive effects as well as negative effects also but in a whole way it’s transparent to “Aam Janta” who can understand the opinions of thousands of other people.
