The Congress' Maharashtra in charge, Mallikarjun-Kharge, hit out at PM Modi and said that a "chaiwala" could become the PM of the country because the party preserved democracy. "PM Narendra-Modi has been asking, at every function, about what the Congress has done for the country in the past 70 years. A chaiwala like him (Modi) could become Prime-Minister because we preserved democracy," Kharge said.
