This survey by Myntra.com takes a look at a different side of our political leaders – at the changing ways in which the country and its youth view the executive decision makers for their fashion sense! Gone are the days when politicians are expected to be dressed only in one particular kind of clothing, could get away with oddly matched outfits and a wardrobe filled with the same colour in four different shades. Similar to employees in every other job, even politicians are expected to be presentable and well-dressed, particularly since they represent India on a global platform.
