Gadkari regrets ‘dog’ remark, Lalu and SP unforgiving
CHANDIGARH/PATNA/NEW DELHI, May 13: BJP president Nitin Gadkari on Thursday expressed regret for his remarks likening Samajwadi Party (SP) chief Mulayam Singh Yadav and Rashtriya Janata Dal’s (RJD) Lalu Prasad to “dogs who lick the feet of the Congress and its president Sonia (Gandhi)”, but the outraged parties were unimpressed.
“I regret the comment made yesterday (Wednesday) and take back my words. I have a lot of respect for Mulayam Singh Yadav and Lalu Prasad,” Gadkari said at a press conference at the Chandigarh Press Club. “The comment created a wrong impression.”
“Meri baat ki bhavna alag thi (The essence of my comment was different). I did not want to hurt anyone,” the Bharatiya Janata Party chief added.
