The BJP attacked Congress leader Navjot Singh Sidhu Monday for his "one wrong vote can make your children 'chaiwala' or 'chowkidar'" remark, saying the Punjab minister has insulted the hardworking, common people of the country.
The Congress party looks down on the people who sell tea, pakoras and those who work as 'chowkidars' (watchmen), BJP national spokesperson GVL Narasimha Rao said and asked why was the Congress party was insulting the people "who work really hard to keep their families afloat".
Earlier in the day, Sidhu, in a tweet, said, "One wrong vote can make your children chaiwala, pakorawala or chowkidar. Better prevent and prepare, rather than repent and repair."
