New Delhi/ Varanasi/ Patna, May 6 (ANI): Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) prime ministerial candidate, Narendra Modi, on Tuesday tweeted that he is being targeted as he belongs to a backward class. In reply to Congress president, Sonia Gandhi's daughter Priyanka Gandhi Vadra's barb aimed at him for practicing 'low-level' of politics on Monday, Modi had tweeted, "I belong to lower caste of society, that is why they think my politics is 'low-level' politics." However, leaders from rival political parties slammed Modi saying he is linking caste with politics for no reason.
