BJP’s Rajya Sabha member Anil Bonde has said Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s tongue should be singed as what he said about reservation was “dangerous”.
His remark made on Tuesday invited criticism from the opposition parties. It comes in the wake of Shiv Sena’s Buldhana MLA Sanjay Gaikwad kicking up a row by announcing a Rs 11 lakh reward to anyone chopping off Gandhi’s tongue for his remarks on scrapping the reservation system.
During his recent visit to the USA, Gandhi told students at the Georgetown University that the Congress would think of scrapping reservation when “India is a fair place”, which he said is not the case right now. Reacting to Gaikwad’s statement of chopping off Gandhi’s tongue, BJP leader Bonde said at Amravati in Maharashtra on Tuesday, “The language of chopping off tongue is not proper, but what Rahul ji said against reservation is dangerous.”
