In India as per estimation make by ‘Assocham’ an Industrial Organization, the business of Public Relation are increasing at the rate of 32% annually. In 2008, PR Industry had an annual turnover of $300 crore which has now reached $1000 crore. The logic behind this increase is that in the era of economic boom, every company is trusting ‘Public Relation’ to grow their sales and turnover. But ‘Assocham’ worry about the lack of versatile people in this fast-growing industry. These PR companies are now working in the political field also. Now for winning the election and taking advantage over their Political opponent, many Political Parties and Leaders are taking the help of PR Companies. Doing Public Relation Campaign and making a grip on Public Pulse this work is also given to Public Relation Company. In 2014 Lok Sabha election, Bhartiya Janta Party openly commences election campaign with the help of PR company. These companies show their abilities and Narendra Modi gets benefits because of this.
