CHHATTISGARH: Hitting back at Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) over its 'T-shirt' jibe at Rahul Gandhi, Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel on Friday said Congress is engaged in uniting the country while the ruling party is still entrapped in T-shirts and khaki shorts.

"That is how it feels. The Centre has only a 'T-shirt' against the biggest Bharat Jodo Yatra from Kanyakumari to Kashmir. In the world's largest democracy, when one party is uniting the country, the dividing party is still hanging in T-shirts and khaki shorts," Baghel said on Twitter (roughly translated form Hindi).

As the Congress' 'Bharat Jodo Yatra' reached the third day, there was a face-off between the BJP and the Congress over Rahul Gandhi's T-shirt.

The BJP attacked the Congress on social media, claiming that Rahul Gandhi, who has been raising the issue of inflation during the 'Bharat Jodo Yatra', was wearing a T-shirt worth Rs 41,257 on Friday.

Congress on the other hand hit back at the BJP and said the ruling party at the Centre has been scared of the response of the people to the Bharat Jodo Yatra.
