Prime Minister Narendra Modi is all set to launch various projects in Tamil Nadu on Friday. While Congress workers were arrested for waving black flags in anticipation of Modi’s arrival, Twitter users expressed their anger towards the prime minister by tweeting with the hashtag #GoBackModi. In January, when Modi visited Tamil Nadu, a similar backlash was seen on social media. Twitter users said that Modi’s “gimmicks” were unlikely to work in Tamil Nadu and that the BJP remained irrelevant in the state. This is significant as Modi and the BJP have long tried to make inroads into Tamil Nadu politics.
