In tiring election season, Modi made a style statement

New Delhi: For a man who confesses to a penchant to "dress well" and claims his mixing and matching of colours is "god gifted", BJP's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi is one of the few

For Abhishek Bakshi, a 34-year-old advertising professional, Modi's style is chic and sauve and yet very Indian.

"You don't necessarily have to be wearing a tuxedo to look good. Modi has, with his choice of clothes and colours, spiced up the Indian attire," Bakshi told IANS.

"Among his contemporaries, he is the only one who experiments with different colours and his sense of colour coordination is brilliant," he added.

Modi's Nehru jackets have become quite popular. "Nehru jackets are really in nowadays and be it youngsters or elders, everyone is following the trend," Ruchi Verma, 21 a student at Noida's Satyam Fashion Institute, said.

Delhi based designer Samanth Chauhan too is a fan.

"The bright coloured Nehru jackets that Modi is wearing are really making a statement," he said.
