Amid the raging debate on India’s surgical strikes, Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar on Wednesday commented, that he dresses “better than” his predecessors, at an event in Mumbai.
“I am uncomfortable in western outfits like suits. Compared to the previous defence minister, my dress is much better,” replied the minister, when he was asked about his sartorial style and whether it is too simple for a minister with a major portfolio.
Taking a dig at the Chief Minister of Delhi Arvind Kejriwal, Parrikar said, “And I do not seek votes over my simplicity like another IITian.”
Commenting on his shift to the central government in Delhi after Goa politics, Mr Parrikar said, “I came to Delhi only because the Defence portfolio was offered to me. Otherwise, I am more comfortable in Goa.
