Overview

• Clips circulating from Darbhanga purportedly capture derogatory language against Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his late mother from a dais during the Voter Adhikar Yatra.
• Multiple reports note that Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and Tejashwi Yadav were not on the stage when the abusive remarks were made.
• PTI and other outlets said they could not independently authenticate the video, which shows unidentified voices and does not clearly reveal the speaker.
• State BJP leaders lodged complaints that led to FIR action, staged protests in Darbhanga and burned effigies, as senior figures including Amit Shah condemned the episode.
• Local organiser Mohd Naushad issued an apology and Congress figures distanced the party from the language, while the yatra continues to spotlight alleged voter‑roll irregularities in Bihar.
