Bhopal: After the BJP leaders ridiculed the Congress regime in Madhya Pradesh for transferring 46 sniffer dogs and their handlers recently, the Congress Minister has taken strong objection on it, saying, “Their (BJP leaders’ mentality is like that of dogs.” Taking strong objection of Verma’s comment, BJP MLA Rameshwar Sharma said, “If Sajjan Singh Verma is calling us dogs then I would like to tell him that yes we are dogs, we are faithful dogs of the people of Madhya Pradesh and we will keep raising our voices for our people and our security forces.”
BJP spokesperson Rajnish Agrawal claimed it exposed the ‘morality and thinking’ of the minister. “Verma is a close aide of Chief Minister Kamal Nath, but he never asked him to behave,” Agarwal said, adding the minister has a history of using such language. Congress spokesperson Bhupendra Gupta retorted saying the BJP government in Madhya Pradesh reminded had transferred the sniffer dogs thrice.
Notably, last week, the Madhya Pradesh government issued orders for transferring 46 sniffer dogs and their handlers, evoking comical and satirical takes from the opposition BJP. BJP leader Vijesh Lunawat, while poking fun at these transfer of canines said, “Ram Naam Japna, Kutton Ke Transfer Ka Maal Bhi Apna.”
