Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has responded to the row over a viral video in which he is seen feeding biscuits to a puppy during his Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra in Jharkhand. The video showed Mr Gandhi petting a puppy and then feeding it biscuits. At one point, the puppy refuses to eat and Mr Gandhi then gives the biscuits to a supporter speaking to him. The BJP had targeted the Congress leader over the video, alleging that he treats his supporters like dogs. Mr Gandhi has now said that the man in the video is actually the dog's owner. "The dog was nervous, shivering and when I tried to feed it, it got scared. So I gave biscuits to the dog's owner and the dog ate them from his hand. I don't understand what's the issue," he said during a media interaction, a video of which was shared by news agency ANI.
