At the same time, PM Modi reached Parliament wearing a special jacket made by recycling plastic bottles.
The BJP has targeted Kharge over these two pictures. The BJP claims that the scarf worn by Kharge costs Rs 56,000. Sharing these pictures on Twitter, BJP spokesperson Shahzad Poonawala wrote, ‘Test Apna Apna, Message Apna Apna. PM Modi is giving a green message of sustainable development and environmental protection with his jacket, while Kharge ji is wearing an expensive Louis Vuitton scarf. But I am not giving any judgement.
These pictures are going viral on social media.
The BJP leader tweeted that the Congress President’s muffler is worth more than Rs 56,000.
What people said on social media on Congress President Kharge’s muffler…
Vivek Agnihotri, director of the film ‘The Kashmir Files’, shared the photo of Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge on Twitter. He wrote- Congress President Kharge is wearing Louis Vuitton’s scarf, which is close to his heart. So are we to assume that he is interested in Louis Vuitton? Crony Capitalism?
If the matter comes out, the divorce will go away.
One user wrote – Kharge is questioning other people’s income. While he himself is wearing a Louis Vuitton scarf, which costs Rs 56,000. Hypocrisy!
Another user wrote – Kharge in Louis Vuitton’s shawl? How did a poor politician become so rich in India that he wears designer clothes?
Tamil Nadu’s company prepared the jacket
PM Modi arrived in Bengaluru on Monday i.e. 6 February to start India Energy Week. Here the Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) gifted this jacket to the PM. This jacket has been prepared by Sri Renga Polymers, a company in Karur, Tamil Nadu.
The picture, shared by the BJP leader on Twitter, shows Kharge’s muffler resembling the scarf on Louis Vuitton’s website.
The company’s managing partner, Senthil Shankar, claimed that he had sent 9 different colored clothes made from PET bottles to Indian Oil. Out of this, sandalwood colored cloth was chosen for the Prime Minister. Then this cloth was sent to Gujarat, where the Prime Minister’s special tailor got this jacket prepared.
The jacket that PM Modi is wearing in the picture is made by recycling plastic bottles (PET).
Target to recycle 100 million PET bottles every year
This jacket presented to PM Modi is just a sample. The company also plans to manufacture uniforms for Indian Oil employees posted at petrol pumps and for the military. Under this scheme, 100 million PET bottles will be recycled every year. It has been named Unbottled Initiative. Shankar said that on an average 15 bottles are used to make such a jacket. At the same time, a soldier’s uniform will be prepared by recycling an average of 28 bottles.

The price of the jacket in the retail market is Rs 2,000.
The price of a jacket made of recycled bottles is two thousand rupees in the retail market. The special thing is that water is not used to make the jacket. The company’s managing partner said that a lot of water is wasted in dyeing cotton, but dope dyeing is used in garments made from PET bottles. Fiber is first made from the bottles and then yarn is prepared from it. Yarn is then made into fabric and then finally the garment is made.
