Reacting to the FIR, the BJP MP stated in Nagpur later {that a} case must be filed towards Rahul Gandhi as a substitute as he has created a worry within the minds of 70 per cent of the folks of India that their reservation might be taken away. “He has expressed this wish abroad. So a case should be filed against Rahul Gandhi,” he stated. Bonde stated BJP staff from SC and ST teams will go to police stations and make this demand.

On Tuesday, whereas reacting to the remarks made by Shiv Sena MLA Sanjay Gaikwad towards Rahul Gandhi, Bonde had stated, “Language like cutting the tongue is not appropriate, but what Rahul ji said against reservation is dangerous. So if someone says anything absurd abroad, his tongue should be branded instead of cutting it. It is necessary to brand the tongue of such people – whether it is Rahul Gandhi, Gyanesh Maharao or Shyam Manav or those who hurt the sentiments of Bahujans and majorities.” A author named Maharao is accused of constructing derogatory remarks towards Hindu gods and goddesses not too long ago, whereas Manav is an anti-superstition activist.
