1 Narendra Modi, Prime Minister: This man clearly tops the list as he changed the political landscape in 2014.

4 Mohan Bhagwat, RSS Chief: One of the most controversial figures in the political circle in the year of change is placed fourth on our list.

Netizens were quite interested in reading his hate speeches. –
5 Rajnath Singh, Home Minister: The old loyalist of the BJP was handed over the presidnetship of the party from Nitin Gadkari only to change its fate in the 2014 general elections.
