Ever since COVID-19 has hit the world nothing has been stable. The big jolt came when India announced its first phase of lockdown which started from midnight on 24 March 2020 and continued up to 14 April 2020. Since the cases of coronavirus kept on increasing the lockdown was extended until 4 May and then further up to 17 May. With chief ministers of states hugely affected by COVID-19 like Maharashtra, Punjab, West Bengal, and more demanding extension of lockdown, it is expected that the Indian Prime Minister will certainly announce something on that line.

What Will Modiji Do- Extend Lockdown Or Announce Exit Plan?
In the last month and a half, Modiji has addressed the country a couple of times either directly or through Mann Ki Baat, and his way of talking has either impressed, inspired, or even disgusted a few. So when it was announced that the Indian Prime Minister will address the nation yet again on May 12, active Twitter users who either want to support him or oppose him started sharing hilarious memes on social media.

Most of the memes are centered on whether the prime minister will extend the lockdown or announce an exit plan. It is a very crucial period for India as the number of COVID-19 patients keeps on rising despite all the measures by the government. But with the economy taking a backseat due to lockdown, many believe that the Indian government will have to start some activities or the other to keep businesses going on.
