A political dispute arose after the BJP accused RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav of allowing supporters to insult Prime Minister Modi's deceased mother during a public gathering. The ruling party distributed video footage that allegedly captured offensive remarks directed at both the Prime Minister and his late mother. The RJD rejected these claims and suggested the BJP had manipulated the recording to damage their reputation before upcoming elections. Party officials stated the accusations were false and politically motivated. This incident follows similar allegations from a previous rally in Darbhanga.
Congress leaders defended their alliance partner while criticizing the BJP's response to the controversy. They questioned why authorities had not arrested those responsible for earlier offensive comments. Multiple political figures condemned any disrespectful language toward mothers while debating the authenticity of the evidence. Prime Minister Modi previously addressed the matter by stating that Bihar would not tolerate such insults. The dispute highlights tensions between opposition parties and the ruling government ahead of state assembly elections.
