Shylaja trends on Twitter, gets huge support from social media
On Tuesday afternoon, as soon as the news emerged that K.K. Shylaja’s name was missing from the State’s new Cabinet, the social media went abuzz with support for the popular outgoing Health Minister. A few hours later, #ShailajaTeacher began to trend on Twitter. No regional political leader has perhaps in recent time in India been tweeted about as much, or posted about on Facebook, after being excluded from a the Council of Ministers. But, then, few regional leaders or State Ministers have gained as much national and international attention as Ms. Shylaja has. Her handling of the Nipah outbreak had put her in the limelight three years ago.More Related News
