Recently, PM Modi inaugurated the new Atal Tunnel that spans across 9.02 km in between Manali and Leh.
As photos from the inauguration surfaced on social media, Twitterati noticed that apart from walking in the tunnel and riding in it in an open-vehicle, PM Modi also seemed to be waving at an empty tunnel.

So this was the Modi wave they kept talking about all these years.

Stop criticising Modiji. He was waving in the tunnel to people who will pass through it in the future. What a visionary leader!

One who can tell a million lies.
— Naresh Singh (@nareshbareth) October 3, 2020
One who forgets promises.
One who doesn’t care about poor.
One who is only worried about rich.
And
One who can wave in empty tunnels with confidence
HE IS MODI.

Both Dal lake & Atal Tunnel are haunted. Only such an exorcist can see them & wave.

Have you ever waved like an emperor, princess or like a celebrity at mass gatherings or public? Worry not, if there be no audience. You don’t need one.

And this is certainly not the first time that PM Modi has waved at seemingly no one:
How does it feel when you watch IPL in hotstar, empty stadium but you get to hear Buzzing sound ?
