After exams, let’s have ‘naukri pe charcha’: Twitter users to Modi

NEW DELHI: The third edition of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 'Pariksha Pe Charcha' saw a participation of around 2,000 school children from across the country. The event, held at Talkatora Stadium in New Delhi, was live telecast in many schools and colleges across states.

While the Prime Minister advised students on being stress-free and reiterated that "marks, examinations are not everything in life", several members of the Twitterati poked fun at the event itself and reminded PM Modi that there are other, equally pressing concerns such as the economy. On the same day, the International Monetary Fund announced that India's slowdown was affecting the global economy. Here are some of the tongue-in-cheek tweets that we came across.

Some asked for "Naukri pe charcha".

Pariksha Par Charcha Hogyi

Joblessness is increasing day by day, why our prime minister is not talking about #NaukriPeCharcha . Unemployed youths are looking for jobs.

While others pointed to the state of the economy as something that is in need of "charcha".

To whom is Modi ji giving tips? He need to study himself. About the ongoing protest in the country, about the falling economy, about unemployment.#ParikshaPeCharcha #मेरा_PM_झूठा_है pic.twitter.com/d4yGwsFAcs

Some redirected the conversation to Modi's degree controversy.

A person who is unable to show his degree is now holding discussion on Exams/Pariksha Pe Charcha.

While one user took a dig at Modi's advice on having "a technology-free room".
