’56-inch’ chest contains self esteem of farmers, poor: BJP tells Rahul Gandhi

New Delhi, July 17:Attacking Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi over his earlier statement on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Friday said the 56-inch chest contains the self esteem of the farmers and the poor.

“He talks about 56-inches, we congratulate him for acquiring ‘Darjee ka feeta’ (tailor’s measuring tape), let him go around measuring chests. This 56-inch chest is not because of them (Congress),” BJP leader Siddharth Nath Singh told media persons.
