Shiv Sena MLA Sanjay Gaikwad has threatened to «bury any Congress dog» coming to his programme. On Monday, the Buldhana legislator's announcement of a 'reward' for anyone chopping off Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's tongue had set off a huge political row.
Talking to reporters on the same day, Gaikwad is heard saying in a video that Chief Minister Eknath Shinde — who heads the Shiv Sena — will attend a programme about the government's flagship 'Mukhyamantri Majhi Ladki Bahin Yojana' for women in his district.
«If any Congress dog tries to enter my programme, I will bury them then and there,» Gaikwad is heard saying. The MLA had earlier announced a Rs 11 lakh reward to anyone who «chops off» Rahul Gandhi's tongue for his remarks on scrapping the reservation system.
«I have made the statement. If I have not apologised, why should the CM do so?....Of 140 crore people in the country, 50 per cent of the population gets reservation. And I am firm on the statement I made about the person who spoke about removing reservation,» Gaikwad said, when asked about the controversy.
The police on Monday night registered a case against him over the remark about the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha. Gaikwad is no stranger to controversies. Last month, a video of a policeman washing his car went viral on social media.
