Speaking at a press conference at the Congress Bhavan here on Tuesday, Rai criticized Shetty for using derogatory terms, such as “huchcha” (nutcase), to describe Rahul Gandhi.
Rai said, “Such language is unacceptable. The BJP has made numerous accusations against me as well, questioning my birth and making allegations against my mother. This is typical of BJP’s behavior. However, we do not stoop to such levels. We may have lost (the elections) in the district, but we are not defeated. The government should file a suo motu case against him.”

Taking exception to Shetty calling Rahul Gandhi a “dog,” Ivan said “even a dog has more sense than Bharath Shetty”.
D’Souza also accused MLA Shetty of making provocative statements about taking up arms and demanded that the Police Commissioner file a suo motu case and arrest him immediately.
He further challenged Shetty, saying, “Even the Prime Minister cannot face Rahul Gandhi, so what is the worth of a small-time politician like Bharath Shetty?”
“The central government will not last for another six months, and that is why Shetty is speaking recklessly on the streets. If he has the courage, let him try to hit me,” Ivan said.
