Maharashtra Congress chief Nana Patole has courted controversy by comparing the BJP to a dog and said the party should be “shown the place” for coming to power by peddling a pack of lies. Addressing a rally in Akola, Patole attacked the BJP for bringing down the Maha Vikas Aghadi government and singled out Devendra Fadnavis, saying the former chief minister considers himself “God”.

“Time has come to make BJP a dog. Time has come to throw BJP out of Maharashtra. This party came to power with a bundle of lies and now time has come to show its place. BJP people consider themselves God and Vishwaguru In Maharashtra, Fadnavis considers himself God, they should be shown their place.
