The Congress Tuesday took a jibe at Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi over the Rs.5 entry fee for his rally in Hyderabad next month.
"To hear a Baba pravachan (sermon), a ticket costs Rs.100-100,000, a cinema ticket costs Rs.200-500 even for a box office flop, to hear the Chief minister Rs.5, the market discovers true value," Information and Broadcasting Minister Manish Tewari posted on social networking site Twitter Tuesday.
The BJP has said that the money raised from the entry fee will be donated to help the relief and rehabilitation efforts for Uttarakhand.
