There was lot of curiosity as to what will the Prime Minister Narendra Modi say when it was heard that he would address the nation. That he announced India’s space accomplishment with Mission Shakti it sparked off political reactions . The opposition was quick to slam the announcement as it comes days before the first phase of Lok Sabha polls on April 11, 2019
The opposition leaders took to their twitter handle to target Prime Minister Narendra Modi
Akhilesh Yadav, Former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister and Samajwadi party Leader
Today @narendramodi got himself an hour of free TV & divert nation’s attention away from issues on ground — #Unemployment #RuralCrisis & #WomensSecurity — by pointing at the sky.
Congratulations @drdo_india & @isro — this success belongs to you. Thank you for making India safer.

Today’s announcement is yet another limitless drama and publicity mongering by Modi desperately trying to reap political benefits at the time of election. This is a gross violation of Model Code of Conduct. 3/4

Research, space management & development are a continuous process over the years. Modi, as usual, likes to take the credit for everything. Credit to those who really deserve it, our scientists & researchers. 2/4
