Prime Minister Narendra Modi, often targeted by the Congress and its chief Rahul Gandhi on what they allege is a costly wardrobe, told actor Akshay Kumar in an interaction that he always cared about dressing properly because of how he felt as a child from a poor family. He also revealed why he started wearing his trademark half-sleeve kurtas. During a free-wheeling interaction at his 7, Lok Kalyan Marg home, PM Modi was asked by the actor about his fashion choices. "Apart from the image of a strict administrator, there is another image that has been created because of what I wear...," he said.
