Overview

• Footage circulating from a small dais linked to the Voter Adhikar Yatra in Darbhanga purportedly captures abusive language directed at Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his late mother.
• BJP leaders demanded apologies from Rahul Gandhi and Tejashwi Yadav and staged protests, as senior figures including Amit Shah, Yogi Adityanath and JP Nadda condemned the episode.
• The Bihar BJP said it lodged a complaint in Patna and a leader claimed an FIR was registered at Gandhi Maidan police station, while the party said it is gathering more evidence.
• Congress figures publicly disapproved of the language and distanced the party from it, noting principal leaders were not on the dais, as RJD called for an investigation and questioned attribution.
• Reports noted audio referencing local organiser ‘Naushad’ at the podium, and the yatra continues across Bihar against the backdrop of voter-roll disputes and intensifying campaign tensions.
