In response to Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge’s ‘poisonous snake’ jibe at PM Modi, Karnataka BJP MLA Basanagouda on Friday called former Congress chief Sonia Gandhi a “vishkanya” (venomous maiden). “The whole world has accepted PM Modi. America, once upon a time, refused to give him a Visa. They later rolled out a red carpet and welcomed Modi. Now, they (Congress) are comparing him to a cobra snake and saying he will spew venom. Is Sonia Gandhi a venomous woman (visha kanye)? She worked with China and Pakistan as their agent,” he said. Basanagouda’s counter-attack came during a poll rally at Koppal in Yatnal.
