Log on to Twitter and you will see #PoMoneModi trending. Twitter was quick to respond after PM Narendra Modi compared Kerala with Somalia.
Yes, you read it right. Modi likened Kerala with Somalia while he was addressing an election rally in God’s own country.
Modi said, “The unemployment rate in Kerala is at least three times higher than the national average. Infant mortality rate among the Scheduled Tribe community in Kerala is worse than Somalia. The state can meet only 13 percent of their requirement of agricultural products.
Even after 70 years of independence, Kerala depends on other states for 70 percent of its power requirements. Similarly, most of the youth in Kerala are forced to leave their home state in search of job. Only through overall development, the state could be brought back to its past glory.”
This not only angered Kerala Chief Minister Oommen Chandy, who has asked Modi to take back his remarks, but also the entire nation that is standing by Kerala at this hour.
Kerala people chose dialogue of a Kerala movie ‘Po Mone Dinesha’ and #PoMoneModi started trending. Well, Po Mone means ‘go away’ or ‘head back home’
Here’s how Twitter is reacting
