Acche Din One Year Later: Do Clothes Make the Man?

NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi is a man of fashion. And does not hesitate to add the dramatic touch to his apparel, be it in India or abroad. So much so that he has been noticed to change his outfits several times a day when foreign dignitaries are visiting, running into major controversy by donning a multi-lakh bandh gala suit with his name running embossed in the pin stripe weave. The criticism brought in the clarification that it was a gift from some unknown person, and the PM had it auctioned.
