Overview

• Police in Patna registered an FIR after a BJP complaint over a viral video from Darbhanga in which abusive language targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his late mother.
• News outlets noted they could not independently verify the clip’s authenticity, and reports said no senior leaders were on the small Bithauli stage when the remarks were made.
• Congress distanced itself from the language and called it condemnable, saying the individuals remain unidentified, while local organiser Mohammad Naushad issued a public apology.
• BJP leaders demanded apologies from Rahul Gandhi and Tejashwi Yadav, announced further complaints, and escalated the attack on the opposition’s conduct during the Voter Adhikar Yatra.
• The episode unfolded as the opposition’s voter‑rights yatra challenged the Election Commission’s roll revision, with earlier legs featuring MK Stalin and Revanth Reddy and drawing criticism from Prashant Kishor.
