New Delhi, Apr 17 : It's funny how politicians chase the reclusive common man for votes in the real world and how people search for these very politicos in the cyberworld.

Congress president Sonia Gandhi and BJP's prime ministerial candidate L K Advani have emerged among the most- searched-for politicians on search engine giant Google India, as the country completed polling in the first phase of staggered elections to the 543-member Lok Sabha.

According to the latest trend available on Google, a large number of people had looked up the internet for information on Manmohan Singh, Mayawati and Narendra Modi, besides Sonia Gandhi and Advani.

Interestingly, the search meter had shot up after various political camps engaged in verbal violence during campaigning.

Congress star campaigner Rahul Gandhi, considered as prime minister material by his party, too is among the top search item in the virtual world along with his cousin Varun Gandhi.

Varun made headlines after an alleged hate-speech in Pilibhit Lok Sabha constituency from where he's contesting the election and people were looking for details of what he had spoken that has pushed him to the fore.
