As the Bihar elections intensify, political discourse continues to deteriorate, with leaders frequently crossing the line of decency. During a recent campaign rally in Darbhanga, disturbing slogans were raised against Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Supporters of the Congress party, reportedly after the main leaders had left the stage, used highly offensive and abusive language against the PM—words too vulgar to be aired. This incident follows a trend of aggressive rhetoric, especially from Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, who regularly targets PM Modi with sharp criticism. The BJP has condemned the incident, with Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan calling it “the height of hatred.” He and other leaders have urged the Congress party to rein in its supporters and uphold political decorum. The BJP has also recalled previous instances where Rahul Gandhi faced legal consequences for his remarks—like the “chowkidar chor hai” slogan and his comment linking the Modi surname to corruption. The big question remains: will such aggressive language help Congress gain votes, or alienate the electorate seeking development over verbal aggression? The episode raises important concerns about the tone and conduct expected in a democratic setup.
