Abstract
WhatsApp is a popular messaging application that facilitates multimedia content sharing. With its massive user base and ever-growing customers, it can be used to effectively gauge the public's reaction to the socially engaging topics. The widespread adoption of social media by people for the political exchange of thoughts brings an unprecedented opportunity to monitor the opinions of a large number of people. We are classifying a message's political orientation and affiliation based on the content and structure of the message. We can use this technique to summarize the common group agenda of a WhatsApp group.
