Maharashtra election: Congress leader Nana Patole's ‘dog’ jibe triggers row; BJP reacts

Hindustan Times  

The Bharatiya Janata Party on Tuesday slammed the Congress over its Maharashtra unit chief Nana Patole's 'dog' remark, saying such comments show Maha Vikas Aghadi's dejection over impending defeat in the assembly election. BJP leader Pradeep Bhandari said Nana Patole made the controversial remark out of frustration. Campaigning for a candidate in the Akola district on Monday, Maharashtra Congress chief Nana Patole said that the BJP had become arrogant and it was time to make the party "a dog". The fresh controversy came days after Shiv Sena MP Arvind Sawant reportedly referred to Shaina NC – a leader who defected from the BJP to the Shiv Sena faction led by Eknath Shinde – as “imported maal.” The Maharashtra assembly election will be held on November 20.
