Top 10 hilarious #GoBackModi tweets

National Herald reported earlier today that #GoBackModi was the top trend on Twitter on Thursday morning. Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited Mahabalipuram near Chennai in Tamil Nadu today, to inaugurate a defence exhibition.

All through the day, Tamilians vented their anger at the Central government’s delay in setting up Cauvery Water Management Board. Black flags and balloons and activists in black shirts and trousers greeted the Prime Minister as he paid a whirlwind visit to Chennai with helicopter as the chosen mode of transport in the wake of statewide agitation demanding constitution of the Cauvery Management Board.

Protests were also held with black flags and placards throughout Tamil Nadu in cities like Tiruchi, Thanjavur, Coimbatore and Tuticorin against the Prime Minister's brief visit to the state and the Centre's failure to constitute the CMB despite a Supreme Court order. Black flags were hoisted on homes and business establishments across the state.

In a bid to avoid protesters, Modi, who arrived here by a special aircraft in the morning, chose a helicopter to reach Tiruvidanthai, in neighbouring Kanchipuram district where he opened the 10th DefExpo organised by the Defence Ministry.

But Tamilians outsmarted him and sent thousands of black balloons into the air, ensuring the PM would see the colour of their anger.

And #GoBackModi continues to be the top trend on Twitter, not just in India, but worldwide. Here are a selection of the top 10 most hilarious #GoBackModi tweets:
