Is this a graph?

If yes then I presume each one of the color dots is a node or twitter handle and the branches coming out of it are tweets?

All paid and taken care by BJP. They even had the Twitter head to answer a parliamentary committee on why Twitter had been banning Right Wing handles. Most are bots.
