On "Cushioned Sofas" Barb, Rahul Gandhi Points To 8,400 Crore Plane For PM | Read

Congress MP Rahul Gandhi - mocked for sitting on cushioned seats during an anti-farm laws tractor rally in Punjab yesterday - hit back today by accusing Prime Minister Narendra Modi of "wasting" thousands of crores on a set of two custom-made Boeing airplanes that "did not just have a cushion but a whole lot of luxury beds for his comfort".Questioning the need to spend such a large amount of money "when China is at our borders" and the government is rushing weapons, ammunition, fuel, food and winter essentials to eastern Ladakh - in its biggest operation in decades - Mr Gandhi suggested PM Modi wanted the planes - one of which is Air India One - because "his friend Donald Trump (the United States President) has one (Air Force One)".
