Maharashtra Assembly elections: State Congress chief Patole kicks up row with dog jibe at BJP

Mr. Patole, while addressing a public meeting in Akola for Congress's candidate from the Akola West constituency on Monday (November 11), alleged that the BJP has become so arrogant that it calls the Other Backward Class community dog.

"I want to ask the people belonging to the OBC in Akola district, will you vote for the BJP who calls you kutta (dog)? Now the time has come to make the BJP 'kutta' (dog)," he said.
