PM Modi, earlier this month, said that he was deeply pained by the hurling of abuses at his mother during Congress’ recently concluded ‘Voter Adhikar Yatra’ in Bihar, and asserted that although he may forgive RJD and the grand old party but people of the eastern state would never pardon them.
A major controversy erupted in poll-bound Bihar as the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) slammed the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) after Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s late mother was allegedly insulted at a rally in Mahua assembly constituency.
The BJP on Sunday alleged that abuses were again hurled at Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s late mother, this time by some RJD workers during Leader of Opposition Tejashwi Yadav’s ‘Bihar Adhikar Yatra’. BJP IT Department chief Amit Malviya alleged that “extremely derogatory words” were used against PM Modi’s mother at a RJD rally. He accused Tejashwi Yadav of complicity, stating that the opposition leader was present on stage but made “no effort to stop his supporters” from using the offensive language.
He referred to the pattern as “uncivil” and “uncultured” politics by the opposition. Bihar Deputy CM Samrat Choudhary and BJP spokesperson Shahzad Poonawalla also condemned the incident. However, Times Now Digital could not independently verify the authenticity of the video, which has gone viral on social media.
RJD MLA Mukesh Roushan said that Tejashwi Yadav’s full speech can be heard on a Facebook video he shared. He accused the BJP of sharing doctored video. “No RJD worker or anyone else used any abusive word for the Prime Minister. In the video that the BJP has shared, Tejashwi Yadav can’t be heard speaking. They have doctored the video to defame (RJD) as part of a conspiracy,” the RJD MLA posted on Facebook.
The leaders also referenced a previous incident where Congress had released an AI-generated video to imagine a conversation between PM Modi and his late mother, calling it “disgusting,” and how PM’s late mother was insulted at a Congress-RJD event.
A major controversy had erupted after abuses were allegedly hurled at the PM’s late mother by a man from a stage set for Rahul Gandhi’s ‘Voter Adhikar Yatra’ in Darbhanga district last month. A man was also arrested in Bihar’s Darbhanga for making objectionable remarks against PM’s mother.
Speaking on the issue, PM Modi, earlier this month, said that he was deeply pained by the hurling of abuses at his mother during Congress’ recently concluded ‘Voter Adhikar Yatra’ in Bihar, and asserted that although he may forgive RJD and the grand old party but people of the eastern state would never pardon them.
