What Colour is #TheDress? Arun Jaitley Has Decided, Says Twitter

24 hours after Twitter spent the day debating whether a dress worn by the mother of a bride in Scotland was white-and-gold or blue-and-black, the focus has shifted -at least in India -to the jacket worn by Finance Minister Arun Jaitley as he entered parliament today with his budget briefcase.

He was wearing a blue jacket over a white kurta.

I hope Arun Jaitley has the answer. White and gold or blue and black? #TheDress

Twitter is finally happy that somebody answered the vital question that was on their mind yesterday. And, it was none other than the FM.

And one person pointed out that if Mr Jaitley were in Bengal, he would have got a tax break, given he is wearing Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's favourite colour.

Jaitley in Parliament wearing Blue and White. In Calcutta, he would've got tax rebate ;-)

The Bengal government had announced that painting your houses white and blue would lessen your property tax. Last year, Mr Jaitley wore a yellow jacket while presenting his maiden budget in July.
