BJP MP Anurag Thakur Exposed - ₹82K French Belt on a ₹1.24 Lakh Salary?
Anurag Thakur’s take-home is around ₹1.24 lakh per month after allowances. His Louis Vuitton belt? A casual ₹82,000—over 66% of one month’s earnings for most Indians. While he thumps his chest about supporting local artisans, his waist is busy supporting French billion-dollar conglomerates. Patriotism clearly has a price tag.
Caught Red-Handed Hiding the Evidence
In that viral lok sabha clip, Thakur stands up, realises his flashy LV monogram is on full display, and immediately pulls his jacket over it before sitting down. Guilty conscience much? If you’re so proud of “Vocal for local,” why the panic to conceal imported luxury?
He Literally Lectures people on Buying Indian
Thakur has repeatedly pushed Modi’s “Swadeshi” and “Vocal for Local” campaigns, shaming citizens for choosing foreign brands. Yet here he is, strutting around parliament with one of the most recognisable foreign luxury logos plastered on his waist. Do as I say, not as I wear—classic bjp playbook.
LV Isn’t Exactly “Atmanirbhar”
Louis Vuitton is a French mega-corporation owned by LVMH, the world’s largest luxury group. Not a single stitch of that belt supports indian jobs or artisans. But sure, keep telling struggling khadi weavers that foreigners are the enemy while you drip in imported opulence.
This Isn’t His First Hypocrisy Rodeo
Thakur comes from one of Himachal’s wealthiest political dynasties—his family owns media empires and cricket boards. While ordinary indians are told to tighten belts (local ones, presumably), he’s out here dropping five-figure sums on accessories without blinking. Privilege disguised as patriotism.
The Internet Roasted Him Alive—And He Deserved Every Second
Within hours, the clip exploded across social media, with millions calling out the shameless double standards. Memes, reels, and savage comments flooded in: “Swadeshi in speeches, paris in pants.” Even bjp supporters couldn’t defend this one without choking on the irony.
BJP Leaders Keep Getting Caught in Luxury Scandals
From expensive shawls to designer bags, the party that claims to represent the “common man” has a chronic addiction to foreign bling. Thakur’s belt is just the latest exhibit in the museum of bjp hypocrisy—where “Make in India” apparently stops at their wardrobe.
The Real Question: When Will They Practise What They Preach?
If leaders like anurag thakur truly believed in Swadeshi, they’d be rocking handwoven indian leather, not French monograms. Until then, every lecture on patriotism is just noise—expensive, imported noise wrapped around a ₹82,000 lie.
