TIL Desk/National/Mumbai/ BJP president Amit Shah has made stinging remarks against the opposition parties trying to unite to take on the BJP in next year’s Lok Sabha polls by equating them to ‘snakes’, ‘mongoose’, ‘dogs’ and ‘cats’.
Later, he said his intention was not to equate Opposition parties to animals. Addressing a rally here, he also asserted that the Modi government will not scrap the reservation policy nor allow anyone else to do so.
“The countdown for 2019 (polls) has begun. Attempts are being made for opposition unity. When huge floods occur, everything is washed away. Only a ‘vatvriksha (banyan tree) survives and snakes, mongoose, dogs, cats and other animals climb out to save themselves from the rising waters.
“Due to Modi flood, all cats, dogs, snakes and mongoose are getting together to contest polls,” Shah said. He was apparently referring to the efforts being made by various parties like the TRS, the Trinamool Congress and the TDP to sew up a coalition to take on the Modi-led BJP in the next general elections.
