In a twist that has sparked widespread trolling on social media, the Congress party's past remarks about Narendra Modi have come back into focus. Years ago, senior Congress leaders mocked Modi, saying he could "sell tea" but would never become Prime Minister of India. The comment, aimed at his humble background as a tea seller, is now being widely shared again as Modi has become the longest-serving Prime Minister in India's history, surpassing several notable predecessors. The remark gained significant attention during the 2014 general elections, when many believed Congress had underestimated Modi's popularity. It resurfaced several times in the years that followed, each time highlighting the dramatic shift in India's political landscape. While Modi led the BJP to major victories in 2014 and 2019 and retained power in 2024, Congress has faced repeated electoral setbacks and internal challenges. Many social media users are pointing to the irony, comparing Congress's once-dominant position with its current struggles. As Modi continues to strengthen his political standing, the old taunt is being remembered as an example of how quickly political fortunes can change, with the BJP remaining dominant while Congress fights to regain relevance. @thetrid.ent
