Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi has come under severe criticism and has been blasted by Twitterati for his comments during an address to party workers in Uttarakhand, India where he said his kurta was torn but no one would ever find Prime Minister Narendra Modi in torn clothes.

“Mera pocket/kurta phata ho toh mujhe farak nahi padta, lekin Modi Ji ka kapda kabhi nahi phata hoga aur vo gareeb ki rajneeti karte hain (I wear a torn kurta but you’ll never see Modiji in a torn kurta. He only plays politics of the poor),” he said while speaking at Vijay Sankalp convention of party workers in Rishikesh.
While his audience applauded him, those on Twitter showered criticism on him who pointed out how he had just returned from a foreign vacation for his new year holidays.

“Please help Rahul ji buy a new kurta,” tweeted someone. “The j**k who just came back from 2 week foreign holiday is showing a torn kurta?? Ok,” wrote another.
