Speaking at AICC meet, Aiyar on Friday said, “He can never be the Prime Minister of our nation, he can never be. However, if he wants, we could arrange a tea stall for him here,”

Meanwhile, BJP has criticised saying that Congress is running out of legitimate topics to fight Narendra Modi and is now taking whatever potshots they can to feel good about their election efforts.

Reacting to Aiyar’s comments, BJP spokesperson Rajiv Pratap Rudy dismissed them saying, “Nothing better is expected from Mani Shankar Aiyar.”

Another BJP leader Prakash Javadekar said that Mani Shankar’s comment reflects his sick mentality.

‘Mani Shankar’s comment reflects his mentality, he’s unwell,’ said Prakash Javadekar.

Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha, Arun Jaitley said, “The strength of Indian democracy will be proved when a former tea vendor defeats a dynasty representative. Let this be the battle of 2014.”

Also joining the attack was Goa Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar, who said, “(Aiyar) is not going to make Modi the PM. We have not even asked for his vote. People of the country have made up their minds and that is evident from the support that Modi is getting across the country.”

BJP leader Murli Manohar Joshi said that it would be clear after the poll as to who sells tea and who forms the Government.
