In response to the now snowballing allegations of corruption against the Modi government, Indian Twitter users trending #Mera_PM_Chor_Hai.
One can always count on Indian Twitter for using Bollywood references to deliver biting political commentary. This time, inspired by the iconic film Deewar, users are tweeting pictures of “Mera PM Chor Hai” written on their wrists.
Former French President had said on Friday that it was the Modi government which picked Anil Ambani to be the offset partner in the Rafale deal. This earth-shaking revelation was met by utter silence from Prime Minister Modi and his ministers who have spent the past weeks claiming the exact opposite.
Since Modi personally negotiated the Rafale deal behind closed doors, he is under direct fire of the public’s anger and resentment.
On September 23, 2016, India and France signed a deal under which New Delhi would procure 36 Rafale fighter jets worth Rs 59,000 crore from Paris.

Later that year, Reliance Defence joined the the offset programme of the Rafale deal through Dassault Reliance Aerospace Ltd, in which it holds a 51% stake.
Dassault Aviation, which manufactured the jets, owns 49%. Reliance and Dassault announced a joint venture in India in October 2016.
Here are some of the tweets:

#Mera_PM_Chor_Hai #FilmyDialoguesOnRafale Ashamed that our PM has acted against national interest. Can IAF fight a 2 front war with just 36 Rafale jets ? National Security has been compromised to help Anil Ambani.
