"Yeh to suit boot ki sarkar hai (this is government of suit boot)...," the Congress Vice President said in the Lok Sabha while participating in a discussion on agrarian situation.
As the ruling BJP members protested strongly, he said, "chalo suit ki baat khatam ho gayi hai (the talk about suit is over). You auctioned it. I will not speak about it now. Happy?"
When some BJP members said Modi was the Prime Minister of the country, Rahul said, "Ok, desh ke pradhan mantri hai (the country's Prime Minister)... But is he not your Prime Minister?"
In another dig at the government, Gandhi said Union Minister Nitin Gadkari is the only person in the ruling party who speaks his heart.
"He (Gadkari) had said farmers should not depend on God or the government,", he noted, adding that it was "dil ki baat, mann ki baat (talk from the heart)".
