Suit Boot Ki Sarkaar

Rahul Gandhi's potshots at the "Swachh Bharat" and "Make in India" campaigns - two of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's pet projects - appeared to miss the mark at an interaction at a college in Bengaluru.

In a 'colourful' variation of his "suit boot ki sarkaar" jibe, Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi today charged Prime Minister Narendra Modi with changing clothes, all of different hues, "16 times" during his recent five-day US visit.

Hitting out at Rahul Gandhi for his "suit boot" remarks against PM Narendra Modi, Union Minister M Venkaiah Naidu today termed it as "childish and immature" and accused him of taking the name of Prime Minister to remain in the news.

Even as his Cabinet decided today to promulgate the Land Acquisition Ordinance for the third time, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said that the legislation is not "a matter of life or death for me" and that he was prepared to accept any suggestions.

Rahul Gandhi has been liberally using the phrase "suit-boot ki sarkaar", praised by his party as one of his greatest hits. Three weeks ago, speaking in Parliament, Mr Gandhi deployed the term to accuse the government of being in thrall to industrialists.
