As Modi lays AIIMS foundation stone, #GoBackModi trends on Twitter, counter tweets emerge with #TNWelcomesModi
Chennai, Jan 27 (IBNS): On a day when Narendra Modi visited Madurai in Tamil Nadu for the foundation-laying ceremony of the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), tweets with #GoBackModi have surfaced in the micro blogging site causing a major embarrassment to the Prime Minister.
Claiming to bring better health for people of Madurai, Modi laid the foundation stone for AIIMS on Sunday.
The posts mainly reflect the anger of the Tamil Nadu people as Modi did not visit the districts in Tamil Nadu that were ravaged by cyclone Gaja.
More than 3 lakh people were left homeless and around 11 lakh trees were uprooted in the cyclone.
Many tweets also contained a cartoon bearing the outline of Tamil Nadu with the face of late rationalist leader EVR Periyar saying "Go Back Modi" and "#GoBackSadistModi."
In those cartoons, the Prime Minister was shown in a saffron jacket, is running towards a ladder lowered from a hovering chopper.
Similar works with "Go Back Modi" have sprung up on Twitter and Facebook.

Kerala has not forgotten how Modi went the extra mile to block all financial aid to us when lakhs suffered during the floods. Now, he is here every other week. You are not welcome. #GoBackModi pic.twitter.com/C15ffnxyQm

Again, there were some counter tweets as well with "#TNWelcomesModi" and "#MaduraiThanksModi."
PM Modi has received flak for his alleged silence over the Sterlite shooting in Tuticorin in which 13 anti-Sterlite protesters were killed by the police.
People who wrote anti Modi slogans also slammed him for the Centre's reported pro-Karnataka approach in the Cauvery waters issue, particularly over the Mekedatu reservoir project across Cauvery.
