Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh) [India], September 21 (ANI): Uttar Pradesh Minister Danish Azad Ansari on Sunday criticized the Congress party and Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), saying that they have blindfolded themselves in the pursuit of politics to such an extent that they are now resorting to personal attacks.

Speaking to ANI on the alleged objectionable remarks made again about PM Modi's late mother at the RJD rally in Bihar, Minister Ansari said, 'It is extremely tragic and regrettable that the Congress party and RJD have blindfolded themselves in the pursuit of politics to such an extent that they are now resorting to personal attacks... They have realised that the people of Bihar have completely rejected them, so they are commenting on Prime Minister Modi's personal life from the platforms. This shows how petty politics the Congress and RJD are engaging in...'.

Earlier today, Union Minister Giriraj Singh slammed the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) over alleged abusive remarks made against Prime Minister Narendra Modi's late mother during a rally in Bihar.

He accused the RJD of insulting the pride of Bihar and warned that the incident reflects the kind of governance seen under Lalu Yadav in 2005.

Giriraj Singh said, 'It didn't seem strange to me that such a thing happened from Tejashwi Yadav's platform because there is no difference between Rahul Gandhi and Tejashwi Yadav... They have made a very big mistake by using indecent language for the Prime Minister's mother, insulting the pride of Bihar, and showing Lalu Yadav's government of 2005 that if by mistake their government comes to power this time, this is what will happen... Tejashwi Yadav and Rahul Gandhi should apologise for this; otherwise, the people of Bihar will definitely punish them for it'.

BJP leader and Union Minister Nityanand Rai also shared a purported video on X, in which an unknown man can be heard using derogatory language for PM Modi, in the presence of Tejashwi Yadav during RJD's public meeting in Bihar.

Addressing reporters, the Union MoS referred to Tejashwi as mythological characters 'Kans' and 'Kaliya Naag' and said that the public will give him a befitting reply in the upcoming Legislative Assembly elections.

'Tejashwi Yadav's goons have committed a grave sin by abusing PM Narendra Modi and his revered mother in front of him. By repeatedly abusing PM Narendra Modi and his mother, these people are causing havoc. Tejashwi, we will destroy you like Kansa. The people of Bihar will soon destroy you with their votes. You are spewing venom like the Kaliya Naag,' Rai said. (ANI)
