‘When Modi Ji Says, We Listen’ and ‘This is the least I can do for my country’ — these were some of the sentiments that flooded social media as soon as Prime Minister Narendra Modi urged Indians to take certain steps in order to survive amid the ongoing global gas crisis.
Addressing the issue of full-blown fuel shortage due to attack by the US and Israel on Isreal for the entire world, the Prime Minister — during a Telangana BJP rally in Hyderabad on Sunday — appealed to Indians to take several steps in order to maintain stability. One of those was opting for ‘Work From Home’ to save fuel. And what more could people ask for considering the rise in ‘toxic workplace’ incidents on a daily basis as per endless social media posts and headlines.
In no time the Internet users turned the moment into a meme fest. From memes on people celebrating the idea to jokes on ‘toxic companies’ losing it, you name it, and the reactions had all kinds of creativity.
Netizens quickly began to comment on how they ‘need to listen’ to PM Modi and ‘ditch Work From Office’.
The PM, on the other hand, also suggested using car pools and metros, along with advising Indians not to buy gold for a while, or plan an overseas trip or overseas destination weddings.
Here’s how the Internet reacted:
