Twitter trends #GobackModi.
Before the visit, the PM has grabbed a lot of attention particularly his opposers in Karnataka. People have alleged that when the state needed him during the flood-hit situation he never appeared and now when things are getting normal the PM shows up. They also claimed that he didn’t even release a proper flood relief funds for the state when farmers were in trouble. Twitter trends #GobackModi.
