Odisha CM Condemns Abuses Against PM Modi’s Late Mother, Calls Remarks ‘Unfortunate’

Odisha Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi on Thursday strongly condemned the alleged abuses hurled at Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s late mother during the ‘Voter Adhikar Yatra’ in Bihar, terming the remarks as “unfortunate” and “unacceptable.”

Speaking to reporters, Majhi said such statements reflect the “inferior mentality” of the Congress and its allies. “The people of India will never tolerate such abuses and will give a befitting reply,” he asserted.

The controversy erupted after a purported video surfaced showing an unidentified person using a Hindi expletive against Modi from a dais in Darbhanga, during the yatra on Wednesday. The event was attended by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, his sister Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, and RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav, before they proceeded to Muzaffarpur on motorcycles.

BJP leaders across states have since launched a sharp attack on the Congress, accusing it of indulging in “politics of indecency.
