A massive controversy erupted during Rahul Gandhi-led ‘Vote Adhikar Yatra’ in Bihar’s Darbhanga after abusive slogans were allegedly raised against Prime Minister Narendra Modi from a stage featuring Congress leaders.
The incident occurred near NH-27 in Bithauli under Simri police station limits, where one of several stages for the yatra had been erected.

The platform was reportedly set up by Mohammad Naushad, a local Congress leader and ticket aspirant for the upcoming Bihar Assembly elections. Neither Rahul Gandhi nor Priyanka Gandhi was present when the abusive slogans were raised.

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, along with RJD’s Tejashwi Yadav and other like-minded leaders, launched ‘Vote Adhikar Yatra’ in poll-bound Bihar against the Election Commission’s Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls.

The incident triggered sharp political reactions, with Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Vijay Sinha lashing out at the Congress. “The Congress will be dealt with in the same language they choose to understand,” Sinha warned.
From its official X handle, the BJP called the incident “extremely shameful” and added that people of Bihar will never forgive the Congress leader.
“From the platform of Rahul Gandhi and Tejashwi Yadav’s journey, extremely indecent language was used against the late mother of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji.”
“Such depravity has never been seen before in politics. This journey has crossed all limits of insult, hatred, and vulgarity,” it added.
The BJP said that Rahul Gandhi and Tejashwi Yadav allowed the use of language so derogatory from their platform that it cannot even be repeated in public.
“This is such a mistake that even if Rahul and Tejashwi beg for forgiveness a thousand times by holding their ears and doing sit-ups, the people of Bihar will not forgive them.”

The controversy threatens to overshadow Rahul Gandhi’s Vote Adhikar Yatra, which aims to mobilise support ahead of the upcoming elections.
