Jaipur: If Facebook is to be believed, Rajasthan chief minister Ashok Gehlot is more popular in Turkeys
capital city Istanbul than in his home state Rajasthan. Gehlots surging popularity, brought to notice by
Bharatiya Janata Partys (BJP) state spokesperson, has been dubbed as the social media scam by his
adversaries.
Saffron party spokesperson Jyoti Kiran alleged that Rajasthan CM is attempting to increase his presence on
the social networking site by buying Likes in bulk.
Gehlot's Facebook page, operated by a dedicated tech team, had 1, 69,077 Likes until June 1, with the
highest number of 'Likes' coming in the week of May 5.
However, the number jumped to 2, 14,639 by June 30, which also overtook May 5 as the most popular
week, Kiran said. Until June 1, Gehlot's 'most popular city', a feature that shows where most followers
come from, was Jaipur. But after the jump in Likes, it changed to Istanbul, Kiran was quoted observing by
the Indian Express.
Kiran explained that Gehlot had roped in services of IT companies which sold likes in bulk.
Gehlot has hired IT firms in Istanbul to increase his profile status, Kiran claimed.
When contacted by publications, Congress party spokesperson Archana Sharma termed the allegations as
baseless, telling that likes could come from anywhere, be it Istanbul or US.
