Rahul Gandhi earlier stated that he decided to wear only T-shirt after seeing a few girls ‘shivering in torn clothes’ in cold weather in Madhya Pradesh. Talking to media, the Wayanad MP said that he will not wear until he shiver.
Gandhi said, “One day three poor girls in torn clothes came to me … When I held them, they were shivering as they were not wearing proper clothes. On that day, I decided that till the time I don’t shiver, I will only wear a Tshirt.”
He also said, “People ask me why I am wearing this white T-shirt, do not I feel cold. I will tell you the reason. When the yatra began … in Kerala, it was hot and humid. But when we entered Madhya Pradesh, it was slightly cold.”
