Patna: The Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) today criticised Prime Minister Narendra Modi, saying he was "marketing" his own image as a tea seller but not doing anything for those involved in the trade.
Party chief Lalu Prasad also honoured Mangal Rai, a tea seller of Katihar railway station, who came to the Assembly with Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav.
Mr Rai saw the Assembly proceedings from the visitors' gallery.
Later, talking to reporters, the tea seller alleged PM Modi did not fulfil the promises he made before the general elections for welfare of the poor like him.
"We are still waiting for Rs 15-20 lakh in the bank account which Narendra Modi had promised from the black money that will be brought back home," Mr Rai said.
Tejashwi Yadav told reporters his party has always cared for the well-being of the poor and honouring Mr Rai was part of it.
The RJD leader denounced PM Modi's 'Chai par Charcha' programme during the Parliamentary elections as merely a "marketing for his own image".
