SaralnamaA controversy erupted in Bihar on 25 Aug 2025 after a Congress leader used abusive language against Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his late mother during a rally. The BJP demanded an apology and condemned the remarks as shameful. The Congress distanced itself from the comments and registered a case against the organiser, Mohammad Naushad. This is not the first time Congress leaders’ remarks against Modi have caused trouble; past comments like “maut ka saudagar” and “chaiwala” also backfired, helping BJP win elections. The Congress is cautious as such controversies have previously hurt its image and electoral prospects. The BJP accused Rahul Gandhi and RJD’s Tejashwi Yadav of encouraging disrespectful conduct during their Bihar yatra. The issue has intensified political tensions ahead of the Bihar polls.
