If a ‘chaiwala’ can’t understand your problems, who will, asks PM Modi at Assam rally

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday, while addressing a rally in Assam’s Chabua district, promised to improve the quality of life for tea garden workers once the BJP returns to power. “Ek chaiwala, aapke dard ko nahi samjhega toh kaun samjhega. (If a ‘chaiwala’ doesn’t understand your problems who will),” the Prime Minister said. He also accused the Congress party of supporting people who make toolkits to defame Assam and its tea.

Meanwhile, the Congress released its manifesto for the Assam elections in Guwahati on Saturday. Launching the manifesto, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said it is a “people’s manifesto” reflecting the aspirations of the Assamese people. Apart from the 5 guarantees announced earlier, the manifesto focused on other reforms in the health, administration, agriculture and education sectors.
