What sort of liar do you have to be to think YOU could pull "I am poor" off? There really is no limit to this man's stupidity. Zero. https://t.co/tMUcTWDhlv

Rahul Gandhi's father also used to wear suit -boot.He was close to big industrialists.Just wearing kurta doesn't make u pro-poor

NEW DELHI: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi is often a soft target for trolls on social media, but the man brings it on himself. For example, do you believe the Congress vice president can't afford a new kurta, or at least have a torn one mended?No? Well, neither do the Twitterati.At a recent meeting with party workers in Uttarakhand,. On top of that, he added: "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.""My kurta pocket is torn, and that doesn't matter to me. But you will never see Modiji wearing torn clothes, despite the fact that he claims to represent the poor and plays politics with the poor," is what Rahul said.No one needed reminding that- a short one, albeit one he took abroad. As well, he's the scion of the Nehru-Gandhi family, which goes back a long way in history, and is unlikely to be found wanting for a new kurta. Rahul'sdid him good and it appears he needs to keep his clothing-poverty analogies to a minimum for them to really have an effect.Or the Twitterati will lay into him like it did with his torn-kurta comment.Don't play us for fools, they said.Didn't you just go abroad? They remembered.Should people start a Rahul Gandhi kurta fund? They were generous.Nice rags, Rahul. Remember, don't play us for fools, they meant.Nice plane, Rahul.Don't play kurta politics.
