Hyderabad: Ahead of the 2014 Lok Sabha polls, Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy tops the google list as the most searched politician in Andhra Pradesh, according to Google’s latest search trends.
The data which has been collected over the last three months from Andhra Pradesh, shows that the politician falls in the same league as Narendra Modi, Rahul Gandhi and Arvind Kejriwal.
