Motivation Analytics has been the buzz word of the current decade. I wanted to see how Twitter data can give insights about what people are talking about the Indian political parties and their leaders. And hence began the journey of collecting tweets from 14th Feb (didn't have much to do on that day). Data The total data collected from 14 Feb to 16th May summed up to a humongous 1.4 TB. This data was collected on my Azure servers and then later transferred to my organization's big data cluster. Due to other work commitments, I started processing the data very late on 20th May. With under 3 days to generate insights before election results on 23 May, we were left with no option other than taking a sample of the data. Hence we selected the tweets between 11PM to 12AM and code-named the analysis as 11th-hour analysis. **Note - The data is using pipe (|) as the delimiter. ** Predictions before results There are 29 States and 7 UT in India out of which 5 UTs had very less data (less than 15 tweets). Considering the remaining 31 States/UTs, we were correct in predicting the winning party edge for 24 States/UTs. Future score We are planning a much more comprehensive analysis using the full 1.4 TB data. The future case studies can give time-dependent insights or rebuttals to wild accusations like EVM tampering. Acknowledgements I work as a consultant Data Scientist and Academic Trainer at INSOFE.
