On a Railway journey from Patna to New Delhi, JDU MLA Gopal Mandal gets photographed in his undergarments in the AC First Class compartment of the Tejas Rajdhani Express.

Mr. Mandal blamed his clothing choice on an upset stomach.

The politician argued that the co-passengers had ‘over reacted’. “I was suffering from dysentery,” he claimed. I felt the urge to use the restroom as soon as the train started. So I pulled off my kurta and pyjama and rushed to the bathroom “.
This is how Twitter reacted.
God now he is even justifying this 😁😁😁

Normal passenger aise ghoomta to RPF wale dhar lete, challan kaat dete aur bhi restrictions lagte. Kyuki MLA ne kiya, to sirf formality puri ki aur ab dekho Jaise 😎 lagake shaan se interview de rha.

Never knew that only wearing undergarments is the best medicine for stomach upsets during a journey. What’s the use of doing MBBS when we have such wonderful medical advisors like Gopal Mandal, JDU MLA?

Poor guy is telling truth, his tummy was upset and he had to go to toilet repeatedly hence he took his pyjama off to facilitate speedy delivery. Imagine untying pyjama at the peak of motion. 😂😂
