New Delhi, May 13: Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been shooting one wild claim after another and the Internet is exploding with memes. After his wild ’cloud theory’ on Balakot airstrikes, which left many befuddled, Modi has gone ahead and made another unmissable claim on the interview some have termed ’scripted.’
On News Nation, Modi was heard claiming that he was one of the first people in India to use a digital camera in 1988. And, that too, apparently to click a coloured photograph of BJP veteran leader LK Advani.
That’s not all. He also said he was one of first few to have use electronic mail (email), back in 1988!
And, of course, this information became new fodder for Netizens. From economists to authors, PM Modi reportedly got slammed from all sides.
Modi: "I used Digital Camera and Email in 1987-88."
