Rahul Gandhi gets a new kurta from Karnataka BJP workers after he shows a torn one in Uttarakhand

New Delhi, Jan 19: Days after Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi made his torn kurta a political issue, BJP Yuv Morcha workers from Haveri in Karnataka have sent him a new one to shame him.

A Yuv Morcha leader was quoted as saying,”Rahul Gandhi withdrew Rs 4,000 from the bank 40 days ago. He never returned to the banks. So he doesn’t have money to buy new kurta. So we have sent a new kurta from our Yuv Morcha.”

“People will teach him a lesson in the coming days for his attitudes,” he reportedly added.
