Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister M.Venkaiah Naidu on Tuesday said that instead of worrying about chest inches, Congress should worry how they came down from over 400 seats to 44 in the Lok Sabha elections over Rahul Gandhi's chest inch remark on Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
"Parliament should reflect aspirations of people, and discuss all issues. We have nothing to hide. Instead of worrying about chest inches, Congress should worry how they came down from 400+ seats at one point to 44," said Naidu.
Addressing Congress workers in Jaipur, the Congress vice-president poked fun at Prime Minister Narendra Modi's '56-inch' chest, saying his party and the people of this country will reduce it to 5.6 inches in the next six months.
