New Delhi: Twitter users on Tuesday evening took a swipe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi as hashtag #15LakhAaGaye went trending on micro-blogging site, soon after India crossed 15-lakh COVID-19 cases mark.
The swipe was at Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s poll promise of depositing 15 lakh rupees in the bank accounts of every citizen of the country. Modi had made the promise in his election campaigning in 2014 and has been trolled over the years for not fulfilling it.
On Tuesday evening, India became only the third country to breach the 15 lakh cases of Coronavirus after the USA which tops the chart and Brazil which is on the second spot of the list of countries with the most cases.
The hashtag #15LakhAaGaye soon went trending and in no time was among the top three trending topics on Twitter India with over 20K tweets.

You didn't vote for Rahul Gandhi. You voted for a megalomaniac fascist. Ask him all the questions you want. #15LakhAaGaye
@RahulGandhi was only leader who was repeatedly warning covid-19 tsunami to the government But government kept ignoring him.

Srinagar (PTI): Normal life in Kashmir was affected for the fifth consecutive day as partial restrictions on movement of people remained in force as a precautionary measure.
The restrictions were imposed on Monday after spontaneous protests broke out across Kashmir a day earlier against the killing of Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in US-Israel joint strikes.
Chief minister Omar Abdullah on Wednesday held a meeting with civil society representatives and religious leaders as part of efforts to bring the situation back to normalcy.

After the meeting, Abdullah appealed to people to maintain peace while expressing grief and anger in "mosques, shrines and Imambaras".
The government has shut educational institutions till Saturday, and reduced mobile internet speeds.
"Restrictions on the movement and assembly of the people continued in many parts of Kashmir on Thursday," the officials said.
A large number of police and paramilitary CRPF personnel were deployed across the city to prevent gatherings of protestors, the officials said.
They added that concertina wires and barricades were placed at important intersections leading into the city, while asserting that these were precautionary measures imposed to maintain law and order.
The iconic Ghanta Ghar in the city centre of Lal Chowk here continued to remain a no-go zone after the authorities sealed area with barricades erected all around it on late Sunday night.
The move to seal the Ghanta Ghar came after it witnessed massive protests on Sunday after Khamenei's assassination in the joint air strikes by the US and Israel.
This is the first time since August 2019 -- when Article 370 was revoked -- that protests on such a large scale have taken place in Kashmir.
