#BoycottMillennials began trending on Twitter after Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman blamed millennials for choosing Ola and Uber over buying vehicles for automobile sector slowdown. People tweeted jokes like, “Cosmetic industry is down because millennials are using filters & editing apps on Phone #BoycottMillennials.” “BHEL is at 15-year-low as millennials prefer panipuri,” read another tweet.
Here’s how Twitter reacted to Sitharaman’s comment:

I wonder why all these 30+ uncles are trolling #NirmalaSitaraman mercilessly for her comments. I am a millennial, and I prefer Ola & Uber compared to driving a car. No fuel, maintenance, insurance problems. True for many of my friends too. #sayitlikenirmalatai #boycottmillennials
