CONGRESS Weak Social Media Strategy
Congress did not have any major initiatives except it’s presence on Twitter and Facebook.
India Youth Congress
Congress made desperate attempts to engagewith social media users. Twitter was it's best bet. The party used WhatsApp as an engagement platformto reach out to the youth. It used Twitter to propagate about the initiative.
The party's weak strategy had impacted it's presence on Facebook too. The India Youth Congress page witnessed far less number of engagementsas compared with BJP and AAP.

LEARNINGS FOR SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETERS
Innovate to Attract Social Media InfluencersNew ways of engagement can attract a lot more social media users and influencers. AAP’s replica of Obama’s campaign strategy in India exactly did this. The use of Google+ Hangouts gave them a huge opportunity to engage with voters and members on the booth. While, BJP’s use of Android applications was very popular among users.
Use a Combination of Social Media Platforms
Timing Matters
Increase the overall impact of your campaign by combining it with multiple plat-forms and then linking each platform. AAP’s Thunderclap was linked to Twitter and Facebook. BJP linked Narendar Modi’s Google+ Hangouts to Twitter hashtags and Facebook pages to create a buzz and gathered over 2,00,000+ views on the hangout promotion videos. The party managed to get over 20,000 questions through various mediums including Facebook, Twitter, YouTube. and websites
If your competitors are throwing in some interesting campaigns and content, get inspired. Observe their strategy to know what’s working for their community, what’s trending in their circles and how they are implementing it. Do not hesitate to start your own campaigns .Congress, which was the least popular party on social media, missed the buzz due to lack of initiatives when AAP and BJP were very active across platforms.
