How Rahul Gandhi got it wrong about Army uniform

India Today  

Is the Indian Army in such penury that it can't even buy uniform for its soldiers? https://t.co/UaWqsIhnQx Rahul Gandhi June 5, 2018 Senior Congress leader Digvijay Singh was even more sarcastic and tweeted - Shame on you Mr Modi, you have enough money to roam around the world but paucity of funds to buy uniform for army soldiers. Congress spokesperson Priyanka Chaturvedi also attacked PM Modi on the basis of a media report and tweeted - Paucity of funds force soldiers to buy uniforms on their own. The media reports quoted by Rahul Gandhi and Digvijay Singh to underline the scarcity of funds also tries to make another point apart for the emotive issue of uniforms. While the term "paucity of funds for Defence" covers a vast arena and is a subject of wider debate, at least the inference drawn by Rahul Gandhi and Digvijay Singh regarding the uniforms for soldiers, based on some media reports, can't be termed accurate.
