Chennai, Sept 9 (BPNS)

The BJP has taken a dig at  Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for allegedly wearing a costly T-shirt during his ‘Bharath Jodo Yatra’ that commenced from Kanniyakumari on Wednesday.

BJP in a tweet said,” Bharat, deko (India look),” and posted two photos, one of Rahul wearing the TShirt and the other showing the price of a T-Shirt similar to the one he was wearing. The BJP claimed that the Burberry T-shirt cost Rs 41,257.

It is to be noted that Burberry  which is a British Luxury fashion brand is not available in India and it has to be purchased internationally if needed.

The Congress meanwhile hit back at BJP and in a tweet in Hindi said, “Hey- are you scared? seeing the crowd gathered in the Bharat Jodo Yatra. Talk about the issue .. Speak about unemployment and inflation. If we have to discuss the rest of the clothes, then Modiji’s suit of 10 lakhs and glasses of 1.5 lakhs will also be discussed.”

Rahul Gandhi is walking from Kanniyakumari to Kashmir on a grueling yatra titled ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’.  He along with Congress leaders will be covering 25 km per day. 117 Congress leaders are accompanying Rahul Gandhi during the yatra which according to the Congress party is for unifying an India divided by the ‘nefarious’ policies of the BJP.
