After Yuva Desh, an online magazine affiliated to the Indian Youth Congress tweeted a meme mocking Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his past as a tea seller, the Indian National Congress had condemned the tweet and said that it was not in sync with the party's ideology.
Priyanka Chaturvedi, National Spokesperson & Convenor Communication - Congress tweeted : "Absolutely distasteful language doesn't go with Congress' ideology. Hope @yuvadesh has taken down the tweet and apologised for it."
The meme didn't go down well with BJP leaders who took to social media to call it 'classist', 'anti poor' and 'reflective of hatred towards Modi'.
