He also tweeted a video in which several alleged soldiers, locked inside a moving vehicle, can be heard discussing how sending people in unarmored trucks was a dangerous prospect.
This is not the first time that Gandhi has mentioned VVIP planes. Last week, Gandhi racked up the purchase of two VVIP planes during a rally in Punjab.
“On the one hand, Prime Minister Modi has bought two planes worth 8 billion rupees. On the other hand, China is on our borders and our security forces are braving the harsh cold to protect our borders,” he said.
