Rahul takes a dig at Modi over Khadi calender

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi took a dig at Narendra Modi over the Khadi Village Industries Commission (KVIC) replacing the image of Mahatma Gandhi with that of the Prime Minister in its wall calendar and table diary for 2017.

“The Mangalayaan effect,” the Congress Vice President tweeted, implying that Modi was trying to take credit for the promotion of khadi and village industries, an idea which had been close to the heart of the Father of the Nation, as he had allegedly done after India’s spacecraft Mangalayaan landed on the Mars.
