Rahul doesn’t differentiate between a dog and party worker: Haryana Minister

Controversial Haryana Health Minister Anil Vij on Wednesday said Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi treats his workers like his pet dog Pidi.

Speaking to news agency ANI, Anil Vij claimed a Congress worker told him that Pidi was served food on the same plate in which they were given.

"A Congress worker told me, Rahul Gandhi served food to his dog on the same plate in which we were offered earlier," said Anil Vij. "

Good to know that He (Rahul Gandhi) treats Congress workers and his dog equally," the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader said, taking a dig at the Congress vice-president.

He further took a jibe saying Congress workers should understand knowing Rahul's dog is essential to gathering information about him.

The minister is not new to controversy and is well known for his foot-in-mouth statements.

Last year, he said in the state assembly "the people in the Congress are Angrezon Ki Aulaad".

Congress has quickly reacted to Anil Vij's comments. Congress's Kuldeep Sharma said Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar should immediately remove Vij from the Cabinet.
