PM Modi is never tired of reminding us how as a child, he used to sell tea (chaiwala) in front of the Vadanagar railway station in Gujarat. Well, it turns out that the Vadanagar station was constructed in 1973 when Mr. Modi would have been around 22 or 23. So, how come he was selling tea as a kid at that particular station? Not only in this instance, but the fact of the matter is that this prime minister, on many other occasions in the past, has resorted to bluff, exaggeration and outright lies to bolster his standing as some kind of renaissance man, who has been divinely ordained to alter the destiny of India in the 21st century.
