Kapil Sibal slams Modi for caste remarks

With the BJP facing tough fights in the remaining constituencies in UP and Bihar, Narendra Modi played up his caste identity by asserting that in a democracy every one has the right to be the prime minister.

Speaking at a rally in Domariyaganj in UP, Tuesday, Modi said, "We are born in lower castes. Is it a crime?" "Forget a tea seller, in a democracy every one has the right to be the prime minister. First they called me a tea seller. As if it was a crime that I sold tea. They asked if a tea seller will run the nation." "Just because we belong to the lower strata does it mean we can be abused like this," he added.

"Those living in palaces must realize that its due to the hard work of lower caste people like us that they are living comfortably," he said.

"We don't want anything...just want a right to live with dignity. What is the crime we have committed?," Modi said.
