While Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia figures at the top as the most popular leader, Aam Aadmi Party's Ambedkar Nagar MLA Ajay Dutt appears to be the least popular.

The ratings, which are based on the votes of 6.5 lakh respondents over the last two years, reflect how Delhites perceive the performance of their political representatives.

The Neta App enables citizens to vote for their favourite leaders and then change their vote on the app as and when their preferences change. Modelled on the Approval Ratings in the US, it aims to make the app a barometer of the political climate in the country.

For the leaders, the app acts as a feedback mechanism, helping them gauge the impact of their actions, or inactions, on a day to day basis. In order to ensure a pertinent sample size, Neta App uses multiple mediums like the app, IVR calls and SMS to gather data on evolving political inclinations.
