Ahmedabad, 8 May 2013
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi on Friday said that it is better to sell tea than to sell out the nation.
Taking on Samajwadi Party leader Naresh Aggarwal, who said that a tea seller should not have dreams of becoming the nation’s prime minister, Modi told a rally here: “The people will decide if a tea-seller will be PM or not. It’s better to sell tea than to sell out the nation.”
“Is it a crime to be poor, is it a crime to feed oneself by selling tea,” he asked.
On Wednesday, Aggarwal had said in Hardoi that a person who used to sell tea cannot have a national perspective.
