Sorry dinesh1985singh , we can't debug your code.

We can help you once you found out what the problem is.

What have you done to troubleshoot it?

Where does the code break?

What is its actual output vs expected output?

Any Errors?

At Bytes, we tend to help fix the programmer, not the program.

I don't know where the problem is since I never worked with twitter, but if I ever start, I'd start here:
