Bihar: The Darbhanga Police have arrested the man accused of hurling abuses at Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his late mother during Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's 'Voter Adhikar Yatra' in Bihar's Darbhanga on Thursday. The slogans were raised in the Simri area near NH-27. A row erupted in the poll-bound state after the video of the incident went viral on social media. Reacting to it, the BJP launched a scathing attack on Rahul Gandhi and RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav. 

"In the said case, while registering an FIR under Simri police station, 01 accused has been arrested and is being sent to the court," the police wrote in a post on X.

On Thursday, in a post on X, BJP said, "From the platform of Rahul Gandhi and Tejashwi Yadav's journey, extremely offensive language was used against the late mother of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi."

"Such depravity has never been seen before in politics. This journey has crossed all limits of insult, hatred, and vulgarity," it added.

In the long post, the BJP further questioned the Rahul-Tejashwi duo for inviting Tamil Nadu CM MK Stalin and Telangana CM Revanth Reddy to the yatra over their earlier infamous remarks on Bihar.

"Tejashwi and Rahul had previously invited leaders like Stalin and Revanth Reddy, who had insulted the people of Bihar, to their journey, thereby humiliating the people of Bihar. Now, in their state of desperation, they are making people hurl abuses at the revered late mother of Prime Minister Modi."

"He (PM Modi) is the world's most popular leader now. This undignified language from the INDIA bloc platform is an insult to 140 crore Indians. The people of Bihar will give them a befitting reply. No civilised society can accept such language. Congress and RJD leaders should apologise for this," Adityanath told reporters
