How #hashtag trends on Twitter

Twitter ,a micro blogging tool where we find many hashtags and keyword on the left panel of the screen,I used to wonder how a particular hashtag starts trending.Slowly and slowly I discover few things which would like to depict out here.

When there is some news ,they might starts trending when people start using the same keyword or hashtag etc .For Instance today is 18th April and Bangalore is bandh today and there is Kolkata muncipal corporation election .so in below picture we can see that in India the trend is as such

The above shows the India trend ,which we can change the trend as we like to city trends or also to the world trend which ever we like.
In India trends we can see #KarnatakaBandh is at no 2 .But when we change the trend to Bangalore,see the result 
The #KarnatakaBandh came to no 1 and there are many hashtag which is trending in bangalore but not in India and vice versa.

Now the question is how these topic starts trending.

we can see #MIvsCSK trending in Bangalore.These trend came when marketing team of Ipl or the sponsor of CSK and MI started using the hashtag for the match and each of the user started interacting and started talking about it.

Again if we see #Vote4BjpBengal is trending in India ,It is sure that these hashtag was not used by any media channel as it is specific to party.So the Bjp party people ,supporters and paid influencer started using the same hashtag to get it trend in India and when  twitterite see the trends in there panel.They even start tweeting on the subject which further result in trending for long till a new trends emerge via news etc.
