Amid ruckus and protests by opposition parties, Kerala finance minister KM Mani presented the 13th state budget on Friday, 13 March in Thiruvananthapuram. Opposition parties had demanded a resignation from the veteran minister accusing him of accepted a bribe of ₹1 crore from bar owners to allow them to keep bars open in Kerala.
After protests broke out in the south Indian state, social media and Whatsapp were flooded with memes on the FM.
Meanwhile, many celebrities too posted their opinions on the matter on social media.

Its high time that we demand a law which confirms educated, cultured human beings in Lok Sabha n Rajya Sabha. Such a shame, that any third rated criminals can rule us and show their real face in live telecast.

I've seen better cultured human beings in kindergarten. I've seen better behavior in people half their age. Such a shame.
