Patidar community leader Hardik Patel on Tuesday took a swipe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his recent remark about whether a person earning Rs 200 a day selling “pakodas” can be considered unemployed, saying only a “chaiwala” can advise youth without a job to sell the snack.
Modi has often been targeted over his humble “tea seller” background, which he invariably used as a stick to beat his rivals with.
Berozgar yuvao ko pakode ka thela lagane ka sujav ek chaiwala hi de sakta hai. Arthshastri aise sujav nahi deta!!!,” (Only a tea seller can suggest to unemployed youth to sell snacks, an economist would not do that),” Patel said in a tweet on Tuesday.
The Patel quota demand spearhead was apparently comparing Modi to former prime minister Manmohan Singh, an eminent economist.
