BJP Amit Shah compares opposition parties to animals

Mumbai, April 6: Barely an hour after his comparison of Opposition parties with animals at a public rally here created a furore, Bharatiya Janata Party President Amit Shah virtually backtracked on his comments.

During his rally speech, Shah said "A campaign is underway to unite all Opposition parties Whenever there are huge floods, all snakes, mongooses, dogs, cats, leopards and lions, climb up a huge tree as they are scared of the rising waters.

"The political flood unleashed by (Prime Minister) Narendra Modi has made all these snakes, mongooses, dogs and cats, join together and unitedly contest the 2019 elections against him," he had said.

However, barely an hour later, Shah clarified that what he implied was parties with different ideologies joining together to fight the upcoming elections vis-a-vis the BJP and Modi.

"What I intended was that the parties with opposing political ideologies which could never come together have united... They include BSP-SP (the Bahujan Samaj Party-Samajwadi Party), TDP-Congress, Congress-Trinamool Congress, etc.," Shah said at a media briefing later.
