Overview
- The Bihar Congress posted a 36-second clip on X, labeled “AI GENERATED,” showing a Modi lookalike saying “vote chori” before a dream sequence where his late mother rebukes him.
- BJP leaders condemned the post as an insult to the Prime Minister’s mother and demanded a public apology, with some saying they will approach the Election Commission or pursue legal remedies.
- News18 reported that the Bihar Congress launched an internal inquiry to determine who shared the video before deciding on further steps.
- While the state unit moved to investigate, some Congress figures, including Pawan Khera, appeared to defend or downplay the video as political satire.
- The episode builds on tensions from a recent Darbhanga incident involving abusive slogans about the PM’s mother, which led to arrests and mobilization by the NDA’s women’s wing.
