Cornered Over 'Dog' Comment Controversy, BJP Calls it 'Non-Issue' in Bihar | Read
As Home Minister Rajnath Singh admonished his colleague VK Singh for his "dog" comment linked to the killing of two Dalit children, in Bihar, which is in the middle of an intensely-fought election, the BJP today took a combative position. Reacting to the sharp criticism of allies Jitan Ram Manjhi and Ram Vilas Paswan, Dharmendra Pradhan, a central minister in charge of the BJP's Bihar campaign, hit out at the media. "There is no question of this being an electoral issue in Bihar," Mr Pradhan told NDTV.
