Maharashtra Congress chief Nana Patole does not even know where the Cheetahs were brought from, said Devendra Fadnavis.
Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Monday took a potshot on Congress leader Nana Patole over his 'Cheetah' remark, saying he speaks ignorantly for media attention.
"Nana Patole (Maharashtra Congress chief) does not even know where the Cheetahs were brought from. He has a hobby of speaking without knowledge as he knows it will run in the media. Otherwise, he won't be seen altogether," said Mr Fadnavis in Mumbai.
Mr Patole, the Maharashtra unit president of Congress, said on Monday that the Centre "deliberately" brought "cheetahs from Nigeria" to spread Lumpy Skin Disease to take revenge from the farmers over the withdrawal of the farm laws.
"This lumpy virus has been prevailing in Nigeria for a long time and the Cheetahs have also been brought from there. The central government has deliberately done this for the losses of farmers," he had said.
