New dramatic turns took place after the announcement of the Budget on Tuesday. The stock market witnessed a significant downturn, with the BSE Sensex plummeting over 900 points to Rs 79,515.64 and the NSE Nifty 50 index plunged to a low of 24,074 in intra-day deals. This financial tremor sent shockwaves across Dalal Street and triggered a flurry of activity on social media, specifically Twitter, where users expressed their reactions through a barrage of memes.

The Sensex, which is a barometer of the Indian stock market’s health, experienced a sharp decline, erasing significant gains and causing widespread concern among investors and traders. Memes, often seen as the language of the internet, captured the mood of the moment, ranging from humorous takes on the situation to more pointed commentary on the state of the economy.

The creativity of netizens shone through as they used humour to cope with the financial chaos unfolding before them.
