Chaiwala Meme by Congress (though deleted)



Congress Yuva Magazine Mocks Prime Minister Modi With Chaiwala Meme, Deletes After Uproar (Nov 2017)

Indian Youth Congress’s online magazine, took a crass jibe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s English-speaking skills.
The magazine, on its Twitter handle, put out a picture of PM Modi in conversation with US President Donald Trump and UK Prime Minister Theresa May. In the picture, the PM can be seen asking them if they are aware about the various ‘memes’ that have been put out by the opposition against him.
The PM is then corrected and informed about the correct pronunciation of ‘memes’, and also advised that he is better off ‘selling tea’.
The above cartoon by Congress was published during the course of hectic Gujarat Campaign in spite of the fact the Congress had suffered very heavily in the last Lok Sabha election getting a meager 44 seats – even losing its status as the main opposition status. The tag ‘Chaiwala’ to Modi had only fetched him votes and fame internationally which the Congress is failing to sense much to its further dip in its acceptance by the voters.


But, here, atleast, good sense had prevailed and the Congress had deleted this tweet and the Congress had admitted that ‘it is in bad taste and I apologise for hurting feelings’. To that extent, it is good.


For the benefit of our readers, a few more inputs on this Chaiwala episode are here for your view.
