Patna: BJP on Sunday alleged that abuses were hurled at Prime Minister Narendra Modi's late mother by some RJD workers during party leader Tejashwi Yadav's 'Bihar Adhikar Yatra'.
Abuses were allegedly hurled by RJD workers at Mahua in Vaishali district on Saturday in the last leg of Bihar Adhikar Yatra. BJP also claimed that Tejashwi was on the dais when his party workers made derogatory remarks against PM`s mother.
Bihar Deputy CM Samrat Choudhary's Tweet
Sharing a video of the purported latest such incident on his X handle, deputy chief minister Samrat Choudhary wrote, "Tejashwi Yadav has once again insulted Modi ji's late mother. He has once again torn apart the culture of Bihar. In the rally, the RJD workers were hurling as many abuses as they could, and Tejashwi was encouraging them. The mothers and sisters of Bihar will surely hold him accountable for this thuggish mentality and abusive behaviour.”
Union Minister Giriraj Singh's Statement
Union minister and BJP MP Giriraj Singh said, “Crores of mothers in Bihar and the country have been insulted, and people will accordingly respond to them in the assembly election. They take offense when we call Lalu Yadav's regime as ‘Jungle Raj’. Our Prime Minister is being abused from the stage of Lalu's prince (Tejashwi). You people will not improve. Judging by your demeanor, character, and appearance, it's clear that you could be only Lalu's political heir.”
RJD Spokesperson Chitranjan Gagan's Statement
Reacting sharply to BJP`s allegations, RJD spokesperson Chitranjan Gagan said, “BJP is deeply alarmed by the unprecedented support Tejaswi's ‘Bihar Adhikar Yatra’ has received. BJP and its allies are in no position to comment on the issues Tejashwi is raising during the Yatra. Therefore, the BJP has been orchestrating a conspiracy to divert attention. People of Bihar have understood this.”
“The RJD's culture is not such that it would use abusive language against anyone. The credibility of the video being shown is questionable, as the BJP's political foundation rests on lies and trickery. If anyone has used abusive language against the Prime Minister, we strongly condemn it. We also demand an investigation and the strictest possible action against the guilty,” he added.
It is not for the first time that the opposition is facing such allegations as abuses were allegedly hurled from a stage in Darbhanga during Congress leader Rahul Gandhi`s Voter Adhikar Yatra by a man. Subsequently, Bihar Congress shared an AI-powered clip showing the Prime Minister dreaming his mother was rebuking him over his politics. BJP alleged it was an insult to the Prime Minister's late mother, women, and the poor.
