Question: What are the organic and inorganic ways to show political affiliation through profile changes?

Evidence:
raw_evidence: In this section, we first describe the phenomenon of mention of political parties names in the profile attributes of users. This is followed by the analysis of profiles that make specific mentions of political handles in their profile attributes. Both of these constitute an organic way of showing support to a party and does not involve any direct campaigning by the parties. We also study in detail the #MainBhiChowkidar campaign and analyze the corresponding change in profile attributes associated with it.
As discussed is Section SECREF1, @narendramodi added “Chowkidar” to his display name in response to an opposition campaign called “Chowkidar chor hai”. In a coordinated campaign, several other leaders and ministers of BJP also changed their Twitter profiles by adding the prefix Chowkidar to their display names. The movement, however, did not remain confined amongst the members of the party themselves and soon, several Twitter users updated their profiles as well. We opine that the whole campaign of adding Chowkidar to the profile attributes show an inorganic behavior, with political leaders acting as the catalyst. An interesting aspect of this campaign was the fact that the users used several different variants of the word Chowkidar while adding it to their Twitter profiles. Some of the most common variants of Chowkidar that were present in our dataset along with its frequency of use is shown in Figure FIGREF24.
We believe, the effect of changing the profile attribute in accordance with Prime Minister's campaign is an example of inorganic behavior contagion BIBREF6, BIBREF9. The authors in BIBREF6 argue that opinion diffuses easily in a network if it comes from opinion leaders who are considered to be users with a very high number of followers. We see a similar behavior contagion in our dataset with respect to the Chowkidar movement.
We argue that we can predict the political inclination of a user using just the profile attribute of the users. We further show that the presence of party name in the profile attribute can be considered as an organic behavior and signals support to a party. However, we argue that the addition of election campaign related keywords to the profile is a form of inorganic behavior. The inorganic behavior analysis falls inline with behavior contagion, where the followers tend to adapt to the behavior of their opinion leaders. The “Chowkidar movement” showed a similar effect in the #LokSabhaElectios2019, which was evident by how the other political leaders and followers of BJP party added chowkidar to their profile attributes after @narendramodi did. We thus, argue that people don't shy away from showing support to political parties through profile information.

Answers:
Organic: mention of political parties names in the profile attributes, specific mentions of political handles in the profile attributes.
Inorganic:  adding Chowkidar to the profile attributes, the effect of changing the profile attribute in accordance with Prime Minister's campaign, the addition of election campaign related keywords to the profile.
Mentioning of political parties names and political twitter handles is the organic way to show political affiliation; adding Chowkidar or its variants to the profile is the inorganic way.
