Delhi CM criticises AAP MLA over vest-and-shorts attire

A viral video showing AAP MLA Anil Jha Vats in a vest and shorts while attending to constituents in Delhi drew criticism from Chief Minister Rekha Gupta. In the Assembly, she said 'Kapde pehen ke to baitho', implying he should dress more formally for public service.

The remark quickly turned city politics into a fashion-and-decorum debate, with Assembly proceedings acquiring an unexpected wardrobe angle. The incident highlighted that even public service appears to now come with a dress code.

It is unclear if the dress code will be formally discussed, but the exchange underscored the power of image in public life.
