Narendra Modi tweeting about meeting his mother angers Kejriwal

Kejriwal, hitting out at Modi said that he stays with his mother and takes her blessings everyday but does not boast about it.

New Delhi, Jan 10: Prime minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday faced criticism from AAP leaders including Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal, when the former tweeted that he had skipped yoga and had breakfast with his mother.

Modi, who is in Gujarat to attend the 'Vibrant Gujarat Global Summit', tweeted that he met his mother on Tuesday morning. He is likely to head to the Mahatma Mandir to meet foreign heads of the state later in the day.

Kejriwal, took to Twitter to criticise Modi and said: "I stay with my mother and I seek her blessings everyday and don't boast about it. I don't make my mother stand in a bank queue for politics."

The Delhi CM further added: "Hinduism and Indian culture teach us that you make your aged mother and your wife stay with you. PM's house is big, make your heart bigger." AAP leader Somnath Bharti too hit out at Modi saying that the tweet was a publicity stunt by the PM.

PM's 97-year-old mother Hiraba stays in Gujarat and was last seen in public when she had gone to a bank to exchange old currency notes following demonetisation move.
