NEW DELHI: Union Minister Anant Kumar Hedge following BJP Party’s suit, has shed all kinds of civility by calling the opposition party with ugly names in a video which has gone viral.
He called the opposition members as “crows, monkeys and foxes” and compared them to ‘tiger’ referring to PM Modi. TOI reported.
Previously, BJP’s chief Amit Shah has done a similar shameful act where he called the opposition members as “snakes, dogs and cats”.
While addressing a gathering in Karnataka, Hedge said: “On one side crows, monkeys, foxes and others have come together, On the other side we have a tiger. In 2019, choose to elect the tiger,” urging the public to vote for Modi in the upcoming 2019 Lok Sabha elections.
He went on comparing the opposition’s rule to different animals as well as things.
Mocking the opposition party he said: “We are sitting on plastic chairs isn’t it? This is due to Congress rule, had we ruled for 70 years, you would have been sitting on silver chairs.”
Hedge has stirred controversy last year in December when he boldly said, referring to the Constitution, that “it will be changed in the days to come,” along with raising questions on people who believe in secularism.
“Those who, without knowing about their parental blood, call themselves secular, they don’t have their own identity. They don’t know about their parentage, but they are intellectuals,” he had told while speaking at an event.
However, the Opposition parties took his remarks on Constitution seriously, they called for him to be sacked for his remarks on the Constitution.
“Opposition parties are of the opinion that any minister who does not believe in the Constitution should have no place in the council of ministers. It is for the prime minister to take a call on him,” told a Congress spokesman.
