'Gaali' politics has resurfaced in Bihar as the BJP has accused RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav of allowing slogans abusing Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s mother at his rally, reported NDTV.
The Bihar unit of the BJP shared a video on X showing Tejashwi Yadav addressing a crowd during his ‘Bihar Adhikar Yatra,’ in which a man can be heard abusing the Prime Minister and his mother.
However, the video's authenticity has not been verified yet.
“Tejashwi again facilitated the verbal abuse of Modi ji's mother at his rally. The more abusive slogans RJD workers raised, the more Tejashwi encouraged them. RJD-Congress has one programme -- abuse mothers and sisters. Their frustration has reached its peak. Bihar will not forget those abusing a mother. Bihar's mothers and sisters will respond to all abuses,” the BJP Bihar unit alleged in a post on X.
However, RJD dismissed the charge, calling the video doctored.
Mukesh Roushan, RJD MLA from Mahua, said, “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.”
Amid the row, the Prime Minister said the abuses were not just for his mother, but for crores of mothers and sisters.
“Princes born in royal families won't understand the suffering of an underprivileged mother and her son's struggles. These people have been born with a golden and silver spoon. They believe power in Bihar belongs to their families. But you have blessed an underprivileged mother's son and made him pradhan sevak," PM Modi said, while taking swipe at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and RJD chief Tejashwi Yadav, both from political dynasties.
He added, “I want to tell those who abused my mother in front of the people of Bihar -- Modi might forgive you once, but the land of Bihar and India has never tolerated insult to a mother.”
Congress and RJD leaders said neither Rahul Gandhi nor Tejashwi Yadav were present on stage during the abuse, alleging the BJP politicised the issue.
