The video, that has now gone viral, shows Modi walking with a kettle and glasses at what appears to be a red-carpet event.

The BJP hit back with accusations of insulting the Prime Minister. Spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla said the Congress was unable to stand a "kamdar" Prime Minister, who comes from the other backwards classes (OBC) community and a poor background.

"After Renuka Chowdhury insults Parliament, now Ragini Nayak attacks and mocks PM Modi's Chaiwala background. The Naamdar Congress cannot stand a Kamdar PM from the OBC community who has come from a poor background. They have mocked his Chaiwala background earlier, too. They abused him 150 times. They abused his mother in Bihar," Poonwalla wrote on X on Wednesday. 

The controversy stems after BJP slammed Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Renuka Chowdhury for their remarks on the row over bringing a dog to the Parliament complex premisis.

Chowdhury said, "Those sitting inside bite, dogs don't," triggering a controversy after some MPs objected to her bringing a rescued stray dog in her car to the Parliament complex premisis.

Rahul Gandhi, in an informal chat on Tuesday, said that pets are not allowed outside but "inside" and gestured towards the Parliament building.
