In a move likely to disrupt Parliament during the ongoing Winter Session, a senior Congress leader’s irresponsible social media post featuring PM Modi selling tea has ignited a significant controversy.
Late last night, Congress leader Ragini Nayak shared an AI-generated video of the Prime Minister walking with a kettle and glasses at what looks like a global event.
Modi life as Chaiwala before PM
The Prime Minister has previously mentioned that his father ran a tea stall at Vadnagar station in Gujarat, where he helped as a child. Before the 2014 Lok Sabha election, in which he led the BJP to a massive victory, Congress veteran Mani Shankar Aiyar ridiculed Modi’s humble beginnings and claimed he would never reach the top position. Now, Prime Minister Modi is in his third term.
A decade after Aiyar’s comment, Nayak has made another distasteful tea-related remark about the Prime Minister, provoking a strong reaction from the BJP.
Senior BJP leader CR Kesavan stated that Nayak’s post “reveals the twisted mindset of Congress leadership.” He added, “This offensive tweet by the Congress insults the 140 crore hardworking and deserving Indians. It is a direct attack by the Congress on the OBC community.”
BJP Leader hit back Congress Party
Kesavan also said, “The Congress leadership and Rahul Gandhi dislike that the people of India continue to support PM Narendra Modi ji, who has risen through hard work and dedication, unlike the arrogant and privileged Rahul Gandhi, who has been consistently rejected by the public. The Congress party often resorts to attacking PM Modi and even his late mother. The people of India will deliver a fitting lesson to the disreputable Congress.”
