Rahul Gandhi's achievements rarely trends, though Pappu's debacles do sometimes make it to the top.
Congress minister Shashi Tharoor may have more followers than Kejriwal, but the latter is definitely more influential.

The most happening person Modi with more than 5 million reactions and 83.7% Yes votes.
Kejriwal got more than 3 million reactions and 60.3 Yes votes.
