Youth Congress online magazine makes 'chai' jibe at PM Modi, gets slammed
Story highlights
The jibe was made in the form of a tweet which has since been deleted
The Youth Congress deleted the tweet, apologised, and blamed the tweet on "volunteers".
"We condemn this and are apologetic. We are trying to find out who did that tweet as mainly volunteers run that page," saidSuraj Hegde, Youth Congress in-charge.
"Now Yuva Desh deleting the tweet means nothing, damage is done, be it intentional or unintentional. This also clearly shows the feudal mindset of Congress," ANI reported Sudhanshu Trivedi of the BJP as saying.
"Just because Modiji comes from a poor family and he used to sell tea you will insult him? This is an insult of all hard working poor people. Also, mistake happens once not twice. First in 2014 MS Aiyar said this and now Yuva Desh," ANI reported the BJP's Tajinder Bagga as saying.
