New Delhi: Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge received flak from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for wearing an expensive Louis Vuitton scarf in Parliament on Wednesday.
Coincidentally, on the same day, Prime Minister Narendra Modi was spotted wearing a half-sleeved jacket in the Parliament during his reply to the motion of thanks on the President’s address in the Lok Sabha. The jacket, presented to him by Indian Oil Corporation during India Energy Week in Bengaluru on Monday, is made out of recycled PET bottles.
Criticising Kharge, BJP national spokesperson Shehzad Poonwalla took to Twitter and said, “Taste apna apna , Sandesh Apna Apna. PM @narendramodi sports a blue jacket made from recycled bottles sending a green message of fighting climate change … Kharge ji wears expensive LV scarf & talks about poverty! Burberry-LV poverty experts!”
Taste Apna Apna , Message Apna Apna
PM @narendramodi sends a “green message” with his sustainable fashion – blue jacket; enlisting Jan Bhagidari for the cause of sustainable growth & environment
