TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Congress president Rahul Gandhi today fired his “suit-boot ki sarkar” salvo at Prime Minister Narendra Modi afresh, saying he was always found in the company of people attired in suits and not those that are poor.
Unruffled after being attacked by the Meghalaya unit of the BJP over the price of the black jacket he wore yesterday at a concert here, Gandhi said, “You will not see him (PM) hug a poor person, talk to a poor person or even engage with a poor person. You will see him with others.
“There is a particular distance he maintains with the poor people which he does not with Mr Obama or others,” he told journalists. “The fact of the matter is that he (Modi) is still a suit-boot person. He has not done anything….,” Gandhi said. The Congress president said the prime minister had promised to create 2 crore jobs a year but failed to achieve the target.
In an apparent retort to Rahul Gandhi’s suit-boot ki sarkar jibe, the BJP had claimed the Congress President wore a jacket worth USD 995 at a concert oragnised by his party in the poll-bound state yesterday.
