Prime Minister Modi accused which political alliance of insulting his mother during a public event in Darbhanga?
RJD-Congress combinePrime Minister Narendra Modi strongly condemned an incident in Darbhanga where an individual hurled an expletive against his mother during a political gathering. Although the accused was a local Congress worker, Modi held the broader RJD-Congress alliance responsible for fostering an environment of disrespect. He emphasized that such an insult to a mother is unacceptable in Bihar, a land associated with Maa Janki, and called upon the people, especially women, to demand accountability. The BJP launched protests across the state, demanding an apology from top leaders like Rahul Gandhi and Tejashwi Yadav. Despite both leaders distancing themselves from the incident, Modi framed it as reflective of the opposition's misogynistic mindset.
