It all started when Congress Spokesperson Raj Babbar made a statement at the press meet with full confidence that even today he can get a complete meal at just Rs 12 in Mumbai. He further argued that a full plate of rice, dal and a lot of vegetable dishes will be available at Rs 12.
Later Rasheed Masood told the media that in Delhi’s Jama Masjid, a meal at Rs 5 is very much available. The Congress has maintained a silence over the matter so far.
