Kolar Gold Fields (Karna), Apr 7 :  Congress president Rahul Gandhi today slammed  BJP chief Amit Shah’s remarks equating the opposition parties with animals, alleging that the “disrespectful statement” reflected his “mentality” that considered dalits, tribals, minorities and even his own party leaders “worthless”.

“Calling the entire opposition animals…see according to Amit Shah and the basic vision of the BJP RSS – there are  only two non-animals in this country. There is Mr Narendra  Modi and there is Mr Amit Shah,” Gandhi told reporters here.

“Everybody else as far as they are concerned are animals. That’s fine, that is the way they look at the world. It is a disrespectful statement, but we don’t take what Mr Amit Shah says with too much seriousness,” Gandhi said.

Taking a swipe at Shah, the Congress chief said it was the mentality that there were only two or three people in this country “who are worth anything, who understand everything and everybody else is a worthless person”.

“It’s not only dalits, it’s tribals, it’s minorities. It  doesn’t stop there. It’s Mr Advani, Mr Manohar Joshi, even Mr  Gadkari, it’s everybody,” he said.

“The thing is that the BJP people internally don’t have  guts to say it to you. They say it to us,” Gandhi said.

The Congress president said, “the fact of the matter is between Mr Amit Shah and Mr Modi, they are convinced, there are only two human beings in this country. That’s all, that’s the reality.”

At a rally in Mumbai to mark BJP’s foundation day yesterday, Shah had equated opposition parties to ‘snakes’ and mongoose’ and ‘dogs’ and ‘cats’, who are seeking to unite despite their inherent differences to take on the BJP in next year’s Lok Sabha polls.

Later, Shah said his intention was not to equate opposition parties with animals.

At the rally, Shah had said, “The countdown for 2019 (polls) has begun. Attempts are being made for opposition unity. When huge floods occur, everything is washed away. Only a ‘vatvriksha (banyan tree) survives and snakes, mongoose, dogs, cats and other animals climb to save themselves from the rising waters.”

At a press conference, Shah later said, “What I meant was political parties having no ideological similarities are coming together out of fear of Modi.”
