The monogrammed suit of Prime Minister Narednra Modi that he donned during his meeting with the US President, Barack Obama, in the national capital last year has entered the Guinness World Records as “the most expensive suit sold at auction.” The suit, which was auctioned in February last year, was purchased for Rs 4.31 crore by a Surat-based diamond trader, Lalji Patel, who owns the Dharmananda Diamond Company. The suit, which has stripes with the words ‘Narendra Damodardas Modi’ woven into, has been placed inside a glass cabinet at the reception of Dharmananda Diamond Company, Mr Patel said.
The Guinness World Records acknowledges the suit as the “most expensive suit” (clothing) sold at an auction. “The money raised from the auction of the suit has been earmarked for the Clean Ganga mission. It may be recalled that the suit had kicked up a political storm, which eventually led the Congress vice president, Rahul Gandhi, to describe the present government as “suit boot ka sarkar.”
