Randeep Singh Surjewala, a Congress legislator, mocked PM Modi and his government's handling of Kashmir in a tweet today - by referring to a comment the PM himself made in 2014.
"56" chest?" asked Congress MLA and spokesperson Randeep Singh Surjewala on Saturday, in a tweet loaded with statistics on ceasefire violations, civilian causalties and deaths of terrorists - and clearly meant for Prime Minister 
Narendra Modi.
Surjewala's tweet (see below) compared statistics from the UPA and NDA regime (India Today could not independently confirm the information in the tweet at the time of publishing).
The argument Surjewala appeared to be making, without saying as much explicitly, was that the NDA had handled Kashmir than its predecessor.
And the last line was a reference to something Modi himself said at a rally in Uttar Pradesh. Then a prime ministerial candidate, Modi said a 56-inch chest was need to convert UP into Gujarat, whose development model the BJP has often cited as an exemplar.
A year later, while discussing a land bill, 
Rahul Gandhi boasted to Congress workers that the 56 inch chest would shrink to a 5.6 inch chest.
Here's Surjewala's tweet.
