New Delhi: Rahul Gandhi’s “suit boot ka Sarkaar” jibe at the Narendra Modi government was returned with interest by the BJP again today. The party claimed that the Congress leader was sporting a ₹ 41,000-plus T-Shirt from British luxury brand Burberry on his “Bharat Jodo Yatra”, meant to evolve a connect with the common man.As the Congress tweeted a reminder of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s “10 lakh suit”, Trinamool Congress’s Mahua Moitra warned the BJP not to “cross the line”.
“Seriously advise BJP to not cross line & comment on Opposition’s personal clothes & belongings. Remember if we start doing the same with watches, pens, shoes, rings & clothes BJP MPs wear, you’ll rue the day you started this game,” her tweet read.
“Sometimes black magic, sometimes the cost of T-shirts is the issue. The Prime Minister is away from the real issues of the country. Prime Minister, come on the real issues, don’t hoodwink the people like this,” read a rough translation of another Hindi tweet from the party’s official handle.
