Remember NaMo's less than flattering bandhgala? The same one he wore when he hosted POTUS Barack Obama on Republic Day? Yes, the one where the pinstripes were actually Modiji's name. On repeat. It's up for auction at Surat's Science Museum and the bidding war is seriously heating up. According to Zee News, the latest bid for the controversial suit has been made by Surat resident, Mukesh Patel.
Previously, Rakesh Juneja emerged as the highest bidder on Wednesday, after he submitted a written bid of Rs. 1.21 crore.
"The suit is priceless and one can't fix a value for it. I will be the luckiest person in the world if I get the suit. I have made an offer as per my financial capacity and can add another Rs 15 to Rs 20 lakh if anyone bids higher," the Surat-based textile trader said.
We're expecting that the value of this suit will skyrocket further, as the auction continues for another 48 hours. Juneja bested Gujarati businessman Viral Choksi who offered to pay Rs. 1.11 crore for the pinstriped suit. But he's not giving up yet.
