As the controversial decision of demonetisation completed a year today, the war of words between the BJP and the Congress escalated with Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad claiming that the man whose photo was tweeted by Rahul Gandhi today is a Narendra Modi supporter. "Rahul Gandhi has tweeted against demonetisation by using Nand Lal, but Nand Lal has stated on record that he supports Modi ji," Prasad said on the iconic photo of the former armyman crying in one of the many queues that marked the immediate aftermath of demonetisation last year. Earlier today, Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi tweeted Lal's same photo with a couplet in Urdu: "Ek aansu bhi hukumat ke liye khatra hai. Shortly after Rahul's tweet, news agency ANI visited Lal's home in Gurgaon to ask the army veteran if demonetisation was a mistake.
