Be it an epidemic scare or a financial distress, the Twitterati know how to make a day as the microblogging site got flooded with memes on the Yes Bank crisis amid fears that depositors may lose their hard-earned money.
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI), in consultation with the government, on Thursday put the cash-strapped private sector lender under moratorium for a period of 30 days, restricting the overall withdrawal limit of Rs 50,000.
Reacting to the developments, a Twitter user @Abhishekmissh posted, "Given the way our banks are toppling, I think the promise made was to make India a 3-trillion economy. Three trillion paise that is. #yesbankcrisis."
A 'reporter-FM joke', shared by @dilippanawar with #yesBankcrisis, read: "Reporter: FM, #YesBank has gone bad. FM: I don't care my account is in ICICI."
Kshitiz2420, whose bio reads 'I make jokes when I m uncomfortable', posted "Yes Bank right now" with a movie actor playing role of a soldier, calling from a fixed-line saying, "Halat Bohat Kharab hai (the situation is very tight now)."
A post by account 'Doctor Nirav Modi @niiravmodi' read, "I am a Hindu, last year, the government shut PMC Bank 10 days before Diwali where my account was, I lost all my savings, I couldn't celebrate Diwali. Then I opened my bank account at #YesBank and just 5 days before Holi, I lost my rupees again. Modi ji, just tell me why only Hindus?#yesbankcrisis."
User Sreevathsav S Naik @sreevathsav posted a screenshot of former Yes Bank co-founder Rana Kapoor of what he once famously said, "Diamonds are forever. My promoter shares of @YESBANK are invaluable to me."
