A video is doing the rounds on social media showing few women taking measurements of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The post is being circulated with a claim that a lot of money is being spent on PM Modi’s grooming.
Facebook users are sharing the video with a caption: चलो टीशर्ट का मान लिया महंगी पहन लिया,पर ये मेकअप किस बात के लिए हो रहा है इसे कौन सी शादी रचानी थी और इसका सारा खर्चा कहा से आ रहा है।। (English translation: Okay, I accepted the T-shirt, that it could be an expensive one, but what is this make-up for? What wedding was it supposed to create and where are all the expenses coming from?)
