On the day when PM Modi visited Lakshadweep, the UT became the 10th most searched word on Google in India. PM Modi shared a post of his visit to Lakshadweep which made headlines and went viral in no time. But, the popularity of Lakshadweep as a tourist destination invited ‘distasteful’ remarks from Maldives Govt. Reacting to a post featuring PM Modi`s visit, Maldives MP Zahid Rameez said that the idea of competing with them is “delusional”. Reacting sharply to Maldives Govt, social media users from India triggered a meme fest to lambast politician. Netizens shared several posts on the ‘X’ giving a ‘reality check’ to the Maldives. With ‘Boycott Maldives’ trending, a user shared a post featuring Bollywood actor Paresh Rawal’s famous meme template. Notably, Maldives may be one of the top tourist spots, but PM Modi’s vision for Lakshadweep has propelled UT`s tourism prospects. PM Modi’s focus is to uplift the lives of the people of Lakshadweep through various development projects. The Central Government plans to make Lakshadweep a major tourist hub like Maldives. PM Modi Govt has infused more than Rs 1,150 crore to enhance Lakshadweep’s infrastructure.
