“Snake is the charm of Lord Shiva’s neck. For me, people of the country are like Lord Shiva and I am their snake who stays with them,” he added.
Speaking at Karnataka’s Kalaburagi earlier this week, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge had compared PM Modi to a poisonous snake. “PM Narendra Modi is like a poisonous snake. Now if you want to test a venom because I compared him with a poisonous snake, beware it will lead to your death,” Kharge said.
After a row erupted over his ‘snake remark’, Kharge took to Twitter to clarify his stance and said, “My comments are not meant for PM Modi. I called the BJP ideology poisonous, not attacking PM Modi personally. All I meant was if anyone touches BJP ideology, they will be dead because of the poison.”
BJP की विचारधारा विभाजनकारी, वैमनस्यपूर्ण तथा ग़रीबों व दलितों के प्रति नफ़रत व पूर्वाग्रह से भरी है।मैंने इसी नफ़रत व द्वेष की राजनीति की चर्चा की। मेरा बयान न व्यक्तिगत तौर से प्रधानमंत्री मोदी जी के लिये था ना किसी और व्यक्ति विशेष के लिए..

“I have always followed the norms and traditions of political correctness towards friends and opponents and will do so till the last breath of my life. I don’t make fun of individuals and their problems like people in high positions because,” Kharge added.
