'RJD goons abused PM Modi's mother': BJP questions Tejashwi Yadav's silence over issue; blames his 'vile speech'

NEW DELHI: Bharatiya Janata Party leader Amit Malviya on Monday questioned Rashtriya Janata Dal leader Tejashwi Yadav's silence over alleged 'abuses' hurled at Prime Minister Narendra Modi's late mother 'again' during recent rally.

"More than 24 hours have passed, but Tejashwi Yadav has not slightest regret that RJD goons insulted the late mother of Prime Minister Narendra ji at his rally," he said in a post on X.

Blaming the Bihar opposition leader's "vile speech" for the act, Malviya said, "It was only after Tejashwi’s vile speech that his workers dared to do this — he himself is responsible for it."



"It is well-known that someone who has disowned his own sister and stabbed his own brother in the back cannot be expected to respect any woman. If he had education and values, he would never have resorted to such cheap tactics just before the Devi Paksha," he continued.

He went on to declare that the women in poll-bound Bihar would "give a fitting reply to Tejashwi, who stood on the stage and got his own workers to insult the late mother of Prime Minister ji."

"The people of Bihar are hurt and outraged by the insult to Prime Minister Modi ji’s late mother," he said.


The slugfest over alleged abuses flared up again after Bihar deputy CM Samrat Choudhary shared a video of Tejashwi's rally accusing RJD leader of encouraging party workers to hurl abuses. This came only weeks after a similar row during Rahul Gandhi’s Darbhanga rally.

"Tejashwi Yadav once again had Modi's deceased mother abused. He has once again shattered Bihar's culture. The more RJD workers hurled abuses at the rally, the more Tejashwi Yadav encouraged them. The mothers and sisters of Bihar will surely take account of this hooligan mentality and abuse," he said.


RJD defended itself saying that the video was "fabricated". “Leader of opposition Tejashwi Prasad Yadav ji is delivering a speech today at Mahua during the Bihar Adhikar Yatra. The speech is available on my Facebook page — you can listen to it. In it, no worker or any person has abused or used foul language for the Hon’ble Prime Minister,” party leader Mukesh Raushan said.
