LUCKNOW: When Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar University (BBAU) officials here were told to design an achkan for PM Narendra Modi to wear at Friday’s convocation, authorities said they were given a 50-inch chest size to be conveyed to the tailor.In the run-up to the 2014 election, Modi in a repartee to Samajwadi Party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav had said: “Netaji has said Modi does not have what it takes to make another Gujarat out of UP. Do you know what making another Gujarat requires? ... It requires a chhappan inch ki chhati (56-inch chest).” It was never clear whether it was a literal statement or an allusion to his political machismo.Officials involved in preparations for the convocation told TOI they had contacted the PMO for Modi’s measurements and were informed by a tour officer at the PMO that the size was 50 inches at the chest and 21 inches at the shoulder.The university is getting the golden-coloured achkan stitched by a tailor in Delhi. When contacted, the tailor, Anil Nanda, refused to comment on the issue, saying that it was a “political matter”.
