Prime Minister Narendra Modi ripped into the Congress and its Nehru-Gandhi legacy today over the party's comment that a "tea seller" could have the country's top job was owing to the foundation laid by Jawaharlal Nehru. Speaking at the battleground state of Chhattisgarh - where opinion polls have predicted a wafer-thin majority for the Congress -- PM Modi said it was just a ruse to take credit. The Congress has given shabby treatment to any leader who did not belong to the Nehru-Gandhi family, he said.
