By Nagarjun Dwarakanath, Sagay Raj: Prime Minister Narendra Modi is like a poisonous snake, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge said in Karnataka’s Gadag, triggering outrage in the BJP.
“Modi is like a poisonous snake. If you think it’s poison or not and you lick it, you’re dead. You might think: is this poison? Modi is a good man. He’s given it and we’ll see it. Then you’re fully sleeping if you lick it,” Kharge said.

Reacting to the remarks, BJP’s IT cell chief Amit Malviya said the “desperation” showed that the Congress is losing Karnataka and that the party knows it.
“Now Congress President Kharge calls Prime Minister Modi ‘poisonous snake’âæ What started with Sonia Gandhi’s ‘maut ka saudagar’, and we know how it ended, the Congress continues to plummet to new depths. The desperation shows Congress is losing ground in Karnataka and knows it,” Malviya tweeted.
Facing flak over his comments, Kharge said: “The Bharatiya Janata Party is like a snake. If you try to lick you will ultimately die after that. I didn’t talk about him (PM Modi). I don’t make personal statements. I mean to say their ideology is like snake. If you try to lick, death will be inevitable.”
