Rahul Gandhi Apparently Wore A Jacket Worth ₹65,000, Ends Up Being The Butt Of Fresh Jokes

Correct me if I’m wrong, but Rahul Gandhi knows how to make headlines. Scratch that, RaGa knows how to be in headlines for reasons that usually end with trolling. Hey, I’m no political expert to judge his parliamentary proceedings but I am a religious follower of memes and I know a tweetstorm when I see one.

Talking of a tweetstorm, another avalanche is hitting timelines on Twitter because of the present political climate and it is imperative that you know.

If you haven’t guessed it already, Rahul Gandhi has found himself in a soup again and Twitter is in the mood of some roasting. Let me tell you why…

It so happened that Rahul Gandhi was recently in Meghalaya where he attended the ‘Celebration of Peace’ event.

No, that is not the problem.

But it lies in the fact, that he reportedly wore a jacket worth around Rs 70,000/- 

How do I know that? Well, because BJP took to Twitter to enlighten us all. With proof. 

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

If you’re not in the know, it was a jibe that was returned for all the ‘suit-boot ki sarkar’ remarks that Congress and party president Rahul Gandhi used to lambast BJP with.

Phir kya? Twitter was quick in picking sides and trolling RaGa for his apparent hypocrisy. Also, his rather expensive fashion foot. 

1. Yes, people haven’t forgotten about the torn kurta!

3. Even comparisons were made!

Rahul Gandhi in a thousand dollar Burberry quilted jacket. Reminds me of Sonia Gandhi's sable coat which was refitted by Fendi. Self-validation by @OfficeOfRG of his cheesy "1% of India's population gets 73% of its wealth" comment. #PakoraTales pic.twitter.com/xJ0eRcjsX5

But hey, it’s the Opposition we are talking about.

I say that because soon, Renuka Chaudhary who is a Rajya Sabha MP of Congress fired back saying that such jackets can be found for Rs 700/- in a fashion that makes a certified comeback. 

"I can get the jacket for Rs 700 for Mr Modi if he wants, only I don't have his measurements other than chappan inch chaati. This is desperation of BJP to bring down Rahul Gandhi's popularity & image": Renuka Chaudhary on RG's Burberry jacket pic.twitter.com/xJvnQUJjKP

“I can get the jacket for Rs 700 for Mr Modi if he wants, only I don’t have his measurements other than chappan inch chaati.”

However, that didn’t fare well either…

RT if you want Renuka Chaudhry to get you one of the jacket Rahul gandhi was wearing for 700 Rs. https://t.co/iG9UFuCFhP

…and the scores now, well, I’ll let you be the judge of it. Apart from the price and prangs, the jacket is something everyone would want. No?
