Yogi Adityanath

Indian state Uttar Pradesh (UP) just concluded their state election. The largest political party in India, BJP, won the election with a massive majority. The new chief minister of the state is Yogi Adityanath, who is not only a seasoned politician but also the head priest of the Gorakhnath temple in UP.

There has been a lot of complaining on social media about the choice of the chief minister. I decided to analyze a few thousand tweets in order to figure out the sentiment of the masses on Twitter. The sentiment is overwhelmingly positive! There are two sentiment charts and two wordclouds that were generated one day apart. The first set was generated just after the name of the chief minister was announced and the second was generated earlier today.

ISIS

Today ISIS was trending and I decided to make a wordcloud from that rather than using any trending hashtag. The wordcloud shows context-specific words, obviously linking to Paris attacks. But there are some other interesting words patterns too. I thought this was very interesting. In particular the news that Anonymous is taking on ISIS has struck a cord with people. Also, there is some talk about Obama. Perhaps calling for him to fight with ISIS with more intensity? Putin's name shows up a bit as well. Interestingly only these two world leaders show up often. French president Hollandes is curiously absent! The sentiment is very negative, as expected.

#GOPDebate

Sorry for the break over the last few days. I was in Shanghai and all Google services are blocked there including Blogger.com. Also, Twitter is blocked so I couldn't get any tweets to analyze. Now that I am back in Singapore, here is the wordcloud for today. Trump is at the center of the GOP debate! He is killing it (on Twitter at least). Interestingly Ted Cruz and Rubio are now showing up. Fiorina and Carson get a few mentions. But look at Jeb Bush! Can you even spot him here? The sentiment is as expected. Clearly way more positive than negative.

#TrackOfTheDay

Today's hashtag is TrackOfTheDay, which is clearly about music. I wasn't sure whether this is a promoted hashtag but after looking at the wordcloud I know it was. Shazam is showing up so many times with The Vamps Band, it is a clear indication that this was not organic. Not an issue for me! It shows that worcloud is powerful enough to grab such patterns. The sentiment is highly positive. I am not surprised.
