Senior BJP leader Sudhanshu Mittal on Thursday tweeted that he is proud to be a tentwala unlike Lalit Modi who only touted.

Former IPL commissioner Lalit Modi on Thursday asked BJP's Sudhanshu Mittal to explain his relations with Vivek Nagpal, who was named by Lalit Modi in his tweet.

Responding to Lalit Modi's attack, the BJP leader tweeted back, saying he is proud to be a tentwala unlike Modi who only touted. "I had enough wealth then also unlike ur failed 'empire'. Proud to b a tentwala unlike u who only touted. Looser u r jealous", Sudhanshu Mittal tweeted.

Earlier, the former IPL czar had tweeted that he will soon be coming up with Sudhanshu Mittal's rags to riches story. In a series of tweets, Modi even said he is happy to play the role of a whistleblower.

This is yet another name-calling by Modi, who lives in London and has been dropping names of senior politicians and others in what has now come to be called Lalitgate. On Wednesday, the former IPL commissioner had revealed that he met Varun Gandhi in London "a few years ago" and the BJP MP had offered him to "settle everything" with Congress chief Sonia Gandhi.
