Prime Minister Narendra Modi yesterday addressed the nation amidst the Wuhan Virus pandemic that is showing no signs of abetting. While there were whispers of a massive economic stimulus, the PM surprised everybody with his announcement that exceeded almost every other economic pundits prediction. In a measured yet optimistic speech, the PM announced a whooping economic stimulus package worth Rs 20 lakh crores (Rs 2,00,00,00,00,00,000). If implemented properly, this could be India’s watershed movement and probably give India the Quantum Jump Prime Minister talked about.
While the world plunges into an economic recession, Modi government has started with the operation to revive the economy. PM Modi and his oratory prowess were on full display in the 30 minute long speech. PM Modi addressed and connected to his base calmly and slowly– contrary to what his detractors wanted. The opposition was dismayed that the PM did not hurry in his speech.
लेकिन
थकना,
हारना,
टूटना-बिखरना,
मानव को मंजूर नहीं है।सतर्क रहते हुए,
ऐसी जंग के सभी नियमों का पालन करते हुए,
अब हमें बचना
भी है और
आगे भी बढ़ना है: PM @narendramodi— PMO India (@PMOIndia) May 12, 2020
Naturally, his plan and the staggering economic package did not sit well with the usual suspects who did not waste any time in criticising the country’s PM. The left-leaning liberals, secular-journalists and the wokes had a meltdown on social media platforms after his speech.
National Spokesperson of Congress Dr. Udit Raj was in a zone of his own. His hypocrisy was out in the open for everybody to see and judge. But we do not blame him, after all he is a graduate of Rahul Gandhi School of hypocrisy. The congress minions major in Hypocrisy in the University.

The Madhya Pradesh Congress posted a tweet after the announcement by the PM saying that ‘only’ Rs 20 lakh is not enough.
While the MP Congress thinks that 10% of the GDP is not enough to revive the economy, the same party and its leader Rahul Gandhi was demanding 5-6% of the GDP as a financial package, merely a month back.
केवल 20 लाख करोड़..?
मोदी जी,
ये महामारी है,
सब कुछ चौपट हो चुका है।जीडीपी का केवल 10% नहीं,
कम से कम जीडीपी का 50% तो दीजिये।— MP Congress (@INCMP) May 12, 2020
Even during Rahul Gandhi’s Instagram live with the infamous former RBI Governor Raghuram Rajan—both the friends, thick as thieves had iterated that Rs. 65000 crores will be enough for the poor of the country. And we wondered why Rahul Gandhi was going live on Instagram so frequently.
Sanjay Jha, another Congress spokesperson and a certified-woke was seen asking where will the money come from. Although he has PhD in Economics according to his Twitter bio, he was asking an absolute trash of a question that is not expected from someone claiming to be an expert in the aforementioned domain. For the record, this statement comes from a party that had NYAY scheme as its major poll plank in the general elections.
Same people who were supposed to fund NYAY. https://t.co/HCsg7f0qrn

Anti-India portal ‘The Wire’ journalist Arfa Khanum Sherwani was seen asking the right questions. The netizens gave her befitting replies as she deserved.

In recent times there has been no dearth of fake news peddlers who sit thousands of miles away from the country and spit venom against India and PM Modi rather maliciously and routinely. Spearheading such cults is Ashok Swain, whose disdain for PM Modi and his policies were evident in his tweet.
Where will Modi get 10% of GDP? Is there any plan? Or, print money like Zimbabwe?

Congress supporter and an Ex-Bigg Boss contestant Tehseen Poonawala probably forgot to hear the speech intently. While PM Modi iterated the moment he announced the stimulus package that the details will be explained by the Finance Minister, Mr. Poonawala had to attack Modi because that’s how he keeps his propaganda locomotive moving.
Please give me details of this #20LakhsCrores ? How ? From where? #PMModi is condescending to citizens. he treats us as some kids not as partners … https://t.co/LLzbyOQJeD

Dubious journalist Nikhil Wagle who seems to be on the opposite end of spectrum whenever PM Modi says something engaged in his habit of nit-picking. While asking questions about migrant-workers is welcome but he should also know the role of state governments in the fiasco that was happened. Masquerading hatred for Modi in form of love for migrants can fool the un-initiated but unfortunately for Wagle, we are an initiated bunch here.
Modi ji, does your self-reliant India include migrant labourers who are still on the road? #India

Washington Post intern and a compulsive hate-monger, Rana Ayyub, whose claim to fame has been the throwing of her book on Gujarat riots by the Supreme Court was seen taking a dig at PM Modi and his tense in the speech.
Sir, present tense ?

While the detractors of PM Modi, out of force of habit were condemning him, one surprising name emerged from the Congress camp that lauded the announcement. Congress leader Milind Deora hailed PM Modi for announcing economic package worth Rs 20 lakh crore.
Timely announcement of a US $266 billion economic package by @narendramodi ji.
If carefully executed, we will avert a humanitarian crisis, expand India’s role in global supply chains & revolutionise our @makeinindia capabilities.

The stimulus package is 10 percent of India’s GDP and while those against the government continue with their worthless charades, the Union government marches on with its work to pull the poor and economy out of the sinkhole that this deadly virus has put the world in.
