Cong says Modi lying about his mother

Dismisses emotional reference as ‘drama'; demands probe into PM’s blitzkrieg funding to the US

After Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his US trip accused the Gandhis of encouraging graft, the Congress-counter attacked the BJP leader saying he is “lying about his mother and also about his own past as a tea seller”.Former minister and senior Congress spokesperson Anand Sharma on Monday attacked Modi as a “showman Prime Minister given to drama and theatrics”. “PM Modi has insulted his mother. He is lying. We have checked all facts. Narendra Modi’s family was humble, but never poor enough for his mother to do cleaning jobs in people’s houses. Also, the PM should tell us where he sold tea. His father had a snacks canteen and his uncle had a similar canteen. Modi used to issue coupons there. It’s not the same thing as selling tea,” Sharma said in a scathing offensive on the PM, who took swipes at the Congress’ first family, the Gandhis, by raking up corruption by the family members and “damaad” read (Robert Vadra).

The Congress also condemned the PM’s remarks on Gandhis saying he has the habit of mocking the family, which made several scarifies for the country.
