PM Modi Condemns Alleged Insult to His Late Mother by RJD and Congress; Appeals to Women Voters

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has strongly condemned the alleged derogatory remarks made about his late mother during a recent rally in Darbhanga, Bihar, organized by the RJD and Congress. Addressing a virtual gathering of women in Bihar, Modi described the incident as an affront to “matri shakti” (mother power) and emphasized that such disrespect was not just personal but an insult to all women.

The Allegations:
During the ‘Voter Adhikar Yatra’ in Darbhanga, a video surfaced showing an individual using offensive language about PM Modi’s late mother. The incident has sparked widespread outrage, with the BJP accusing the RJD and Congress of tolerating such behavior. The individual responsible was reportedly arrested and sent to judicial custody.

PM Modi’s Response:
In his address, Modi expressed deep pain over the incident, stating that while he might forgive the RJD and Congress, the people of Bihar would not. He emphasized that his mother had no involvement in politics and should not have been dragged into such controversies. Modi also criticized the opposition for their alleged anti-women stance, citing past instances where women’s issues were allegedly sidelined.

Political Repercussions:
The incident has intensified political tensions in Bihar, with the NDA announcing a statewide bandh on September 4, led by women activists, to protest the alleged insults. The bandh aims to highlight the importance of respecting women and their dignity in political discourse.

Conclusion:
The controversy over the alleged remarks against PM Modi’s late mother underscores the deepening political divides in Bihar ahead of the upcoming elections. With women voters being a significant demographic, both the BJP and opposition parties are keenly aware of the impact such incidents can have on public sentiment. As the situation develops, it remains to be seen how this issue will influence the electoral landscape in the state.
