'Only Chaiwala Can Suggest Selling Pakodas for Employment': Hardik Attacks Modi

New Delhi: Patidar leader Hardik Patel on Monday hit out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi for comment he made during an interview with a news channel.

Answering a question on employment during an interview telecast on Saturday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi asked, "If a man selling pakodas outside the Zee TV office takes home Rs 200 at the end of the day, is that not employment?"

Latching onto this, Patel took to Twitter saying, “Only a ‘chaiwala’ can give a suggestion like get a roadside cart selling pakodas to unemployed youth. An economist would never give a suggestion like this.”

बेरोज़गार युवा को पकौडे का ठेला लगाने का सुझाव एक चायवाला ही दे सकता है, अर्थशास्त्री एसा सुझाव नहीं देता !!!!

— Hardik Patel (@HardikPatel_) January 22, 2018



Modi has been taunted with the chaiwala jibe since the run up to the general elections in 2014, when he used his past selling tea in Gujarat during his campaign to connect with voters. Since then, there have been several instances of opposition politicians mocking him with ‘chaiwala’.

For instance, during the campaigning phase of the just concluded Gujarat Assembly elections, a meme posted on the twitter account of Yuva desh, a youth magazine of Congress, which mocked him for his poor English skills and said that he should restrict himself to selling tea. The BJP and Modi seized onto this and built it into their election campaign.

Congress was quick to issue a rebuttal, saying that Modi was just using the controversy to gain sympathy ahead of the election.

But the meme went viral for all the wrong reasons and Modi seized on this and used to it to attack the Congress in a high voltage campaign in the state. The BJP set up tea stalls in voting booths and capitalised on it to record a narrow win in the state.
