Talking to the media in Kalaburagi before leaving for Chittapur for a Tiranga Yatra, he made the comparison while referring to Priyank's criticism of Modi. His statement was an adage in Kannada, which states that an elephant is not bothered about a barking dog.

Comparing their leader to a dog irked Congress workers at Chittapur, the home constituency of Priyank. They tried to forcibly enter the room in the government guesthouse where Narayanaswamy was staying. The police, however, stopped them.
