Prime Minister Narendra Modi again chose to respond to the Congress’ jibe of a poisonous snake by saying that a snake is the garland around the neck of Lord Shiva and that he was okay with being the snake around the necks of the people of the country who were like Lord Shiva for him.
“The main issue for the Karnataka polls for the Congress is a poisonous snake. They are comparing me to the snake and seeking votes from people. But a snake is the garland on Bhagwan Shankar’s neck. For me people of the country are like Lord Shiva. Hence I accept being a snake on the neck of people of the country who are like Lord Shiva for me,” the Prime Minister remarked, while addressing a public meeting in Kolar as part of the campaign for the ruling BJP for the May 10 Assembly elections in Karnataka.
“But I know the people of Karnataka will give a fitting reply to the Congress through their votes for making such remarks against me. The anger of the people of Karnataka, which is the land of saints and cultural heritage, will show up in the ballot box on May 10,” he said.
