When asked about Rahul Gandhi's trademark white t-shirt, which he had worn all along during the yatra - even when north India is facing bone-chilling winters - Priyanka Gandhi said "He is armored in truth. God will keep him safe."


Rahul Gandhi's lack of layers of winter clothing as left many bewildered. In a statement, Priyanka Gandhi said, "Someone asked me -- does your brother not feel cold? He is going around in just a T-shirt in this cold. You should protect him from the cold. At least make him wear a jacket. Then someone else asked me, 'Aren't you concerned about his security? He is going to Kashmir and Punjab'. So my reply is this -- he is armoured in truth. God will keep him safe."


On various occasions, Rahul Gandhi himself has joked about his attire, he even suggested that he will make a video on "how to tackle winter in a T-shirt" after the yatra ends. While he also questioned why media does not ask such questions to the nation's farmers, labourers, and poor children.
