Modi less popular than, Arvind Kejriwal, Justin Bieber: TIME poll
BJP’s prime minister-in-waiting candidate Narendra Modi had bagged more "no" votes than Canadian pop singer Justin Bieber and polled far less popular votes than AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal in a TIME 100 list of the most powerful people in the world live poll as of late Sunday.
 
The polls closed on April 22 and the final result will be declared on April 24.
Modi, who opinion voting project as India's next prime minister, had polled 'no' votes close to six, on a scale of one to 10. Bieber had polled fewer negative votes.
 
Bieber in fact polled more YES votes than Modi. The person topping the list was US actress Katy Perry, followed by Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Arvind Kejriwal who had as many 'yes' votes as her and fewer nos.
 
Modi was at ninth spot, below popular singer Beyonce Knowles and actor Benedict Cumberbatch.
 
However, a tweet showing the graph and the number of 'no' votes for Modi had his fans swinging into action, with many voting YES and urging others on twitter to do likewise. On its site, the TIME asks voters if the person should be included in the TIME100 list.
 
By late Sunday night, Kejriwal had nearly 87 per cent people voting 'yes' and just 13 per cent saying 'no'. The number of votes polled, both for and against, were over 130,000, with the polling numbers changing every second. In comparison, Modi had over 62 per cent voting 'no' and nearly 38 per cent voting 'yes', with around 68,000 votes polled so far.
 
In comparison, world leaders like German Chancellor Angela Merkel had polled just 9,763 votes, with the meter barely moving. North Korean leader Kim Jong Un had 13,000 votes polled, Chinese President Xi Jinping 7,777 and even Microsoft founder and the world's richest person Bill Gates had polled 13,730 votes.
