  • "I regret the comment made yesterday and take back my words. I have a lot of respect for Mulayam Singh Yadav and Lalu Prasad. I did not mean to hurt anyone directly or indirectly," Gadkari said at a meet-the-press programme here.
  • Castigating two Yadavs for not supporting the cut motions in the Lok Sabha, Gadkari, while addressing a party meeting on Wednesday, had said, "Bade dakarte the sher jaise, aur kutte ke jaise ban kar Soniaji aur Congress ke ghar par talve chatne lage' (these leaders were roaring like lions but later bowed like dogs to lick the feet of Sonia and the Congress)." He had alleged that they had gone against the cut motions due to "fear" of the CBI.
