Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi at the election rally.
New Delhi:
At an election meeting in Delhi today, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi derided Prime Minister Narendra Modi for wearing "a 10-lakh suit" during his recent summit in Delhi with US President Barack Obama.
The PM's dark-coloured suit had stripes that spelled out his name over and over, making it the focus of many media reports. Mr Obama was here for a three-day visit; he served as the Guest of Honour at Monday's Republic Day parade.
Delhi votes on February 7. Results will be declared three days later.
The PM's party, the BJP, is fielding former top cop Kiran Bedi as its chief ministerial candidate against Arvind Kejriwal of the Aam Aami Party. The Congress campaign is being led by Ajay Maken.
At an election rally earlier this week, Mr Gandhi, who is the Vice-President of the Congress, said Mr Modi has devoted his first eight months in office to promoting himself, and has delivered none of the promises he made in the election campaign that ended with his astounding victory in May last year.
"The Prime Minister is busy in his personal PR (Public Relations). Not a single concrete thing has taken place. The public is asking when will the talks get over and real work would begin" Mr Gandhi had said. Alleging that the government focuses its priorities on the need of "only 3-4 industrialists is being done."
