PM Modi's Monogrammed Suit Auctioned For 4.31 Cr

SURAT: A Surat-based diamond trader today won the bid of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s pinstriped monogrammed for 4.31 crore.

Earlier, the scramble to possess the controvertial suit of Prime Minister Narendra Modi grew with Surat-based diamond trader Mukesh Patel making a staggering bid of ?2.31 crore on the last day of the auction.

Patel had earlier offered ?2 crore, but later raised the bid through a written offer of 2.31 crore.

“I had lost courage as the bidding amount kept on increasing. Then I talked to my business partner who showed readiness to make the bid of 2.31 crore,” said Patel, who came to the auction venue with his business partner Sanjay Movaliya.

“We will go ahead as per our capacity. We wish to contribute to the ‘Clean Ganga’ mission and that is the reason we have increased our bid,” he said.
The auction at the Science Convention Centre will close at 5 pm today after which the articles will be handed over to the highest bidder.

Prior to Patel, a Haryana-based company’s MD offered 2.09 crore for the suit.
