Bhopal: Senior Congress leader Digvijay Singh on Monday disapproved of his party colleague Mani Shankar Aiyar`s controversial remark on the humble origins of BJP`s prime ministerial nominee Narendra Modi.
Last week, Aiyar had mocked Modi`s prime ministerial ambitions and said a place would be identified for him to sell tea at AICC meeting. Modi has often referred to his humble background as a tea vendor at railway station at many rallies.
In a country where people from humble background have risen to occupy top posts like that of the President, it was not right on the part of Aiyar to make such a comment, Digvijay told reporters at his residence here.
"India happens to be a democracy, where every common man can aspire to reach the highest post in the country," Singh said.
