Prashant Bhushan engagement report
@pbhushan1 - 2.5M followers on X
Measured over 75 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on August 21, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 3.9K interactions against 2.5M followers, an engagement rate of 0.159%. Measured over 75 original posts, its engagement rate beats 91% of 1,003 tracked accounts of a similar size. Comparing inside a size band matters here: engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly just re-measure the follower count. Posts are seen about 115K times each, and 3.44% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 4.62% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 5.5 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 27% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 06:00 UTC, and Thursday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 75 posts sampled, 72% carry an image or video and 17% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 28K interactions, about 7.1x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #breaking, #protestalert, #schoolthikkaro.

Compared with accounts its own size
Prashant Bhushan's engagement rate beats 91% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (1,003 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 9 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.
On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 90% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 06:00 UTC, and Thursday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

Formats this account uses
Its own posting mix on the left, and what each of those formats does across every account we track on the right. Only formats where the effect clears our publish test appear here, so an empty row is a format we could not measure rather than one that does nothing.
| Format | This account | Catalog effect | 95% interval | Accounts behind it |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Image or video | 72% of posts | +79% | +73% to +85% | 5.8K |
| Outbound link | 17% of posts | -49% | -50% to -47% | 6.1K |
| Typical length | - | +13% | +10% to +15% | 6.4K |
- 72% of this account's sampled posts carry an image or video. Across the catalog, posts with an image or video run 79% above the same accounts' other posts.
- 17% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 49% below the same accounts' other posts.
- Its average post runs 376 characters, which falls in the over 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts over 280 characters run 13% above the same accounts' other posts.
These are catalog-wide differences applied to this account's own posting mix, not a measurement of how each format performs for this account specifically. We keep one median per account, not one per format per account, so the second thing is not something this data can tell you.

Getting paid only ₹2,000 a month for cooking, washing utensils & cleaning the school. The govt school staff are being exploited. They deserve better pay. https://t.co/THlUBWQigb

Abdul went to inspect the govt school in Bengal where he once studied. He lost his father after they were attacked by goons (allegedly from BJP) for speaking up about the poor condition of govt schools. It makes my blood boil that people are being murdered simply for demanding better schools. CJP stands firmly with Abdul and his family. We demand the immediate arrest of those responsible for his father’s death. A CJP team will visit West Bengal and ensure that Abdul and his family get justice. And to the hatemongers who think they can silence us through violence: we are not going to back off. Attack our members, threaten us, try to intimidate us, we will only fight harder. We will not be silenced. We will not be intimidated. We will keep fighting for better schools.

An Indian engineer in Bengaluru got tired of potholes destroying his car. So he built an app with Codex that detects them, finds who is responsible, and files a complaint. Here is how it works. He installed a dashcam with GPS and an accelerometer. The app records everything while he drives. A vision model classifies every pothole by size. Small, medium, large. But here is the clever part. Most Indian roads are under warranty. The contractor who built them is legally responsible for fixing potholes for free. His app searches through 2,900 government contracts, finds the exact tender number, identifies the officer responsible, attaches the photo and geolocation, and generates a ready-to-file complaint. One drive to work. 12 potholes detected. 12 complaints ready. -- vc: @gkcs_

All those working in the education department, including Ministers, officials, principals and teachers, should enrol their own children in govt schools. Then watch how quickly our govt schools magically improve. Why do all of them enrol their kids in private schools? Do they not trust their own work?

आज साहिल लोचब के साथ, उनके साथ हुई पुलिस बर्बरता के खिलाफ FIR दर्ज कराने संसद मार्ग के DCP कार्यालय पहुँचा। 20 जुलाई को जंतर-मंतर पर शांतिपूर्ण प्रदर्शन कर रहे साहिल पर पुलिस ने पैलेट गन से हमला किया। छर्रों से बुरी तरह घायल साहिल की एक आँख की रौशनी खतरे में है। शांतिपूर्ण प्रदर्शन के खिलाफ ऐसी बर्बरता कोई कानूनी कार्रवाई नहीं, एक गंभीर अपराध है। इस क्रूरता के लिए न गृह मंत्री अमित शाह ने छात्रों को कोई सफाई दी, न प्रधानमंत्री ने उनसे माफ़ी मांगी। अब जब साहिल न्याय के लिए FIR दर्ज कराना चाहता है तो वो भी नहीं करने दिया जा रहा। इस तरह संविधान और संवैधानिक अधिकारों को कुचला जा रहा है। @AmitShah जी, न्याय से इतना क्यों घबरा रहे हैं? ये डर दिखा रहा है कि आप अपना अपराध कबूल कर रहे हैं। FIR होगी। न्यायिक जाँच होगी। और ऊपर से नीचे तक जो भी इस बर्बरता के दोषी हैं, उन सभी पर कार्रवाई होगी। साहिल और उसके जैसे पीड़ित हर छात्र को न्याय दिलाकर रहेंगे।

On my father’s birthday today, I think he would have been especially proud of my mother for having written her story with so much heart and honesty. For me, it’s one of the greatest love stories of our time. I feel privileged to have witnessed it and I am happy that through her book, everyone will get to know my mother for what she truly is - a brave, loyal, compassionate woman, who is also tough as nails and great fun when she wants to be. A woman whose life has been a testament to her love for her husband and her country. Love you, ma and so, so proud of you. https://t.co/SQWtXhXrS9
