In what are being called the cheapest data tariffs in the world,
Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) chairman Mukesh Ambani announced
Reliance Jio plans starting at Rs 19. Anyone who has a Reliance sim will
be able to avail the services from September 5. The highlight of all
the announcements made during the annual general meeting on September 1
remain free voice calls and data as cheap as Rs 50 for 1 GB.
Reliance Jio made news on September 2 and not for the cheap plans they’re offering but putting out an advertisement featuring Prime Minister Modiji which was published in national dailies and drew a lot of flak on social media. Delhi Chief Minister arvind kejriwal called the PM “Mr Reliance” and asked for an explanation on how could the Prime Minister of India ‘advertise’ for an Indian conglomerate. Many on social media asked if it was legal and proper to use Modi’s picture. Later, the congress. Ajay Maken also criticised the use of the image.
The two discussions have been dominating social media and while many are sharing their serious opinion on how Reliance Jio might help increase Internet penetration in the country, many are joking on imagining the predicament of other service providers like Airtel, Vodafone, Aircel, Idea etc.
