New Delhi: In a potentially self-damaging act ahead of the Gujarat poll, the Congress’ youth wing on Tuesday circulated a meme about Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ‘chaiwala’ past, provoking a backlash from the BJP, and prompting the red-faced Congress to distance from it. The meme that unleashed a political firestorm contained photograph of Modi, US President Donald Trump and British PM Theresa May engaged in a conversation. Modi is seen telling the leaders about the Opposition’s memes targeting him. He mispronounces the word as “mainmain”. Trump corrects him, while May tells him to go and sell tea. Though the meme was removed soon after it was put out, the Congress faced a virtual fusillade from the BJP which flayed the Opposition for targeting the PM over his background. PTI
