TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Union Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Tuesday hit out at the Congress, saying that people who had mocked Prime Minister Narendra Modi by calling him ‘chaiwala’ are plucking tea leaves now.
Speaking at a rally in Lumding of Hojai district, Singh said, “Earlier our PM was mocked by being called a ‘chaiwala’. Today, the same people are selling and plucking tea leaves.”
“The real ‘chaiwala’ has brought them to tea gardens. But be careful, real and certified ‘chaiwala’ is with us,” he added.
Recently, Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra made a visit to the poll-bound state and spent time with tea estate workers at a tea garden in Biswanath district. Dressed in a saree and balancing a basket on her back, the 49-year-old Congress leader was also seen plucking tea leaves.
