Suit Boot, Ji. Posted by Robert Vadra on Wednesday, May 13, 2015This, after his brother in-law Rahul Gandhi has been running around using 'suit-boot' as a catch phrase against the Modi government and a BJP leader hit back saying that the only person in a suit and boot was the Congress Vice President's brother-in-law.But this doesn't really come as a surprise from Vadra, from slamming reporters to calling the country a banana republic, Vadra has done it all.In 2012, Indian Against Corruption (IAC), a then newly formed movement (yes, the time when Anna Hazare, Kiran Bedi, Prashant Bhushan and Arvind Kejriwal were all still friends), alleged that the son-in-law of the country's then ruling party chief Sonia Gandhi had indulged in real-estate corruption.In a reply, Vadra put up a Facebook status saying: "Mango people in banana republic."In 2014, when the Congress were fighting for survival in the elections and tensions were high on polling day, Vadra stepped out donning pink pants paired with a skinny white tee and a navy blazer.[caption id="attachment_1474755" align="alignleft" width="620"]
Naresh Sharma/Firstpost[/caption]Not sure how his mother-in-law felt about that.Then in 2014, Vadra lost his cool and angrily pushed the microphone of an ANI reporter away when he was quizzed about his controversial land deals in Haryana.First Published:May 16, 2015, 09:48:11 IST
