While talking to ABP News, Dattatreya said that people of India have already decided to elect BJP government under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi.
When asked about the controversial 'lone lion and dogs' remark of Mohan Bhagwat, Dattatreya said: “what he meant was that even if the Hindus are strong but do not stay united, somebody who is weaker but united may attack them, therefore the Hindus should remain united keeping aside the ego of strength”.
Speaking at the second World Hindu Congress in Chicago, US on Friday, Bhagwat had said that Hindus had no aspiration of dominance and the community would prosper only when it worked as a society."If a lion is alone, wild dogs can invade and destroy the lion. We must not forget that.”
This statement fuelled a controversy with many criticising Bhagwat’s choice of words .
Attacking Bhagwat over his remarks, All India Majlis-E-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi said the RSS was demeaning others. "The RSS is trying to demean people by calling others dogs and assuming themselves as the tiger," Owaisi said.
