Narendra Modi

As many as 10 youths were detained by police here on Sunday for holding protests against Prime Minister Narendra Modi by selling 'pakodas' to condemn his recent remark that 'pakoda' selling was also employment. Donning graduation caps and robes, the youths were selling the fritters on the roads, just few metres away from the Palace Grounds, where Modi was addressing a massive BJP rally. In a recent interview with a television channel, Modi had claimed that someone earning Rs 200 by opening a 'pakoda' shop by the street cannot be called unemployed.
