Kochi metro inauguration: Who will translate Narendra Modi? Trolls target K Surendran

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate the 13 km Aluva-Palarivattom corridor of Kochi Metro Rail Limited (KMRL) on Saturday, June 17 in a grand inauguration ceremony set for 11 am at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Kaloor.

According to the instructions from PM's office, only Modi, Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan and Union Minister Venkaiah Naidu are allowed to address the gathering during the inaugural ceremony. Now, the big question is; who will translate Modi's speech in Hindi?

Netizens seem to be counting on K Surendran to fill the translator's shoes "again". When Modi visited Kerala for the first time after assuming office in 2014, Surendran was tasked with translating the PM's Hindi speech while he was addressing BJP activists in Thrissur. However, it turned out to be a comedy of errors shot through with slip-ups and omissions. At one point, the General Secretary of Kerala state BJP even failed to follow the speech and was heard saying: "I can't hear".

After the video went viral on social media, Surendran became the butt of all jokes and was heavily trolled for his "translation skills".

Now, with a day left for the inauguration of Kochi Metro, memes on Surendran's translation have resurfaced on social media. Netizens are having a field day making fun of Surendran aka "Ulli Sura".

Here are the memes on Surendran:
