Lalu says he is a real tea seller
Patna, Feb 12: Taking the tea-seller jibe seriously, former Bihar chief minister Lalu Prasad claimed on Wednesday that he was the "real tea seller" and that BJP veteran Narendra Modi was junior to him in this business.

"I used to sell tea at a shop in the veterinary college campus in Patna during my childhood," the Rashtriya Janata Dal leader told the media.

He was responding to Modi's countrywide address, 'Chai Pe Charcha' to tea shop sellers on Wednesday.

Lalu Prasad said he had never revealed until now that he used to sell tea to earn money for school fees.

"I am senior to Modi in selling tea. I sold tea as a child along with my two brothers who are no more. The tea shop is still there for anyone to check my claim," he said.

Lalu Prasad also wanted to know where Modi, the BJP's prime ministerial candidate, sold tea. Lalu added that Modi "sold blood" during the 2002 communal riots in Gujarat.
