Whose ‘Suit-Boot’ is it? Cong, BJP Spar Over Rahul Gandhi’s Jacket

Gandhi later reportedly clarified that the jacket he wore was a gift.

If sparring over programmes and promises was not enough, electoral campaigning in Shillong took a new turn with Congress and BJP sparring over Rahul Gandhi’s jacket.

The political arch rivals tore into each other after the Meghalaya unit of the BJP, in an apparent bid to get even with Rahul Gandhi over his "suit-boot" jibe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, claimed the Congress chief wore a jacket worth Rs 63,000 to a concert in Shillong on Tuesday. The post alleged that Gandhi used black money to pay for this expensive jacket.

So @OfficeOfRG , soot(pun intended!)-boot ki sarkar with ‘black’ money fleeced from Meghalayan State exchequer by rampant corruption? Instead of singing away our woes, you could have given a report card of your inefficient govt in Meghalaya! Your indifference mocks us! pic.twitter.com/sRvj5eoyRb
