Reviving his “Suit boot ki Sarkar” barb against the Narendra Modi Government, Congress Vice-president Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday hit out at the Prime Minister for being surrounded by corporate bigwigs and bureaucrats in ‘suit boot’ and never been seen with farmers and labourers. “Modi is not at all concerned with problems of farmers and labourers as he remains surrounded by corporate honchos and bureaucrats in suit boot and listens to these people as if only they are knowledgeable,” he said at the election rallies in support of Congress candidates in Bihar’s Begusarai and Sheikhpura districts. “Has anyone among you seen photos of the Prime Minister mingling with the farmers and labourers in torn clothesIJ” he asked, adding that Modi has never done it as he thinks that the poor people don’t have wisdom.
Taking a potshot at Modi’s dresses, he said the PM is always seen in clothes of different colours and surrounded by bigwigs unlike Bihar CM Nitish Kumar, who wears white at all times and “comfortably mingles with people of all hues.” During his recent US visit, Modi was seen in 16 dresses on different occasions,” he said.
