Leading Bharat Jodo Yatra wearing foreign t-shirt: Amit Shah takes jibe at Rahul Gandhi

Union Minister Amit Shah on September 10 took a potshot at Rahul Gandhi over his expensive piece of clothing. Referring to Gandhi’s t-shirt, which he was seen wearing during a foot march in Nagercoil city yesterday, Shah said that the Congress leader is leading a campaign to unite the nation-the Bharat Jodo Yatra ‘wearing a foreign t-shirt’.

Yesterday, the BJP slammed the Congress party on social media by saying that Rahul Gandhi, who is raising the issue of inflation during the 'Bharat Jodo Yatra', was seen wearing a foreign-brand t-shirt worth more than Rs 40,000.

Reminding Rahul Gandhi of his old speech in the Parliament, where he said that ‘India is not a nation’, Amit Shah said that the Congress leader is on a Yatra to ‘unite’ the same nation.

"Rahul Gandhi has set out with Bharat Jodo Yatra wearing foreign t-shirt. I am reminding a speech by Rahul Gandhi and Congressmen in his Parliament. Rahul Baba had said that India is not a nation. Rahul Gandhi, in which book have you read this? This is the nation for which lakhs and lakhs of people have sacrificed their lives. Rahul Gandhi needs to study India's history," Shah said while addressing the Booth President Sankalp Mahasammelan in Jodhpur.

The Home Minister further hit out at Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot over the ‘highest prices’ of fuel in the state and said that his government did not reduce the taxes on petrol and diesel despite the Centre slashing the tax rates on them.

Earlier today, Amit Shah laid the foundation stone for border tourism development work at Tanot temple complex adjacent to India-Pakistan international border, which lies around 120 km from Jaisalmer in Rajasthan.

The Union Home Minister is on a two-day visit to Rajasthan. He reached Jaisalmer on Friday evening.
