Golden idea for nation

The idea of creating awareness on the issue of national good through social media platform by using combined strength of all major handles is new and superb one. Total figure of followers of all these handles(narrated below) is 52948392, which means above five crore. Many of them can be common, but even then, the figure of unique followers would be so high, and this is just their twitter followers. Imagine the figure of Facebook followers, and the followers on the ground. Majority of followers of these twitter handles are probably the Indian citizens. Just imagine, if these dignitaries spare some time and spread the message of national good, the impact level could be so high.
