'Princes won't understand a poor mother and her son's suffering': Modi slams Rahul-Tejashwi over abuse against mother from Cong-RJD dias

Speaking at a Bihar event virtually, Modi said, "What happened in Bihar a few days ago... I hadn't even imagined it. From the RJD-Congress platform in Bihar, my mother was abused... These abuses are not just an insult to my mother... they are an insult to the mothers, sisters, and daughters of the country."

"A poor mother thus toils to provide education and upbringing to her children, instilling high values in them. That is why the place of a mother is considered even above that of gods and goddesses. These are Bihar's values, and this sentiment simply comes from every Bihari's mouth - The place of mother is even above gods and ancestors!"

Without taking any name, the Prime Minister attacked Congress MP Rahul Gandhi and RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav over "dynasty politics" and called them "princes".

"The penance of a poor mother, the suffering of her son—these young princes born into royal families cannot understand. These honorable people were born with a silver spoon in their mouths. The power of the country and Bihar seems like an inheritance of their family to them.

"The mentality that abuses mothers, the mentality that abuses sisters, considers women weak. This mindset treats women as objects of exploitation and oppression. Therefore, whenever an anti-woman mentality has come to power, mothers-sisters-daughters have had to endure the most suffering," he said.

A man identified as Rizwi alias Raja had shouted abusive slogans against the Prime Minister and his late mother at the rally which was conducted by the Congress and Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD).

The incident occurred during the Vote Adhikaar Yatra which was spearheaded by Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition cum Congress MP Rahul Gandhi and RJD top leader Tejashwi Yadav.

The incident has further heated up the political atmosphere of Bihar, which will go to polls in a few months' time.

The RJD-Congress alliance is aiming to unseat the NDA government, which is spearheaded by Chief Minister Nitish Kumar.
