The Bharatiya Janata Party on Thursday slammed Congress after the party's Bihar unit shared an AI-generated video of PM Modi's mother, Heeraben Modi, for a politically motivated attack days after abusive slogans were hurled against her from the Congress stage at the Voter Adhikar Yatra in Bihar's Darbhanga.

BJP's Shehzad Poonawala lashed out at Congress in an X post saying, "The Congress party is once again insulting Prime Minister Narendra Modi's mother. This is no longer the Congress of Gandhi; it has become a Congress of Gaali."

"Far from having remorse For abusing PM’s Mother Congress not only justified Defended the accused with lies Tariq Anwar too defended And now Bihar Congress crossed all limits with a disgusting video This party has become GAALIWADI instead of GandhiwadiMahila aur Maatru shakti ka apman (insult to women) is Congress ki pehchaan Shameful Abuse Bihar as Bidi and abuse a person no long with us," he told News18.

Another BJP spokesperson, Pradeep Bhandari, said, "Congress under Rahul Gandhi continues its insult of Honorable PM @narendramodi ji's mother. People of Bihar will give a befitting response to RJD & Congress that mock mothers and sisters of Bihar!"

Bhandari went on and said that all this was happening at the behest of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi. "It is not just insensitive, it is sickening to see a party hate the poor of India so much! The Congress is anti-women and hates the poor people of the country," he added.

The video was shared by the Bihar Congress with captioon, "Ma Appears in Sahab's Dreams. Watch the Interesting Dialogue."

In the video, AI-generated Heeraben is shown accusing PM Modi of politicising his relationship with her. Last month, a video made the rounds on social media that showed a group of people abusing PM Modi and his mother from a stage with images of Rahul Gandhi and RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav.

The incident caused widespread resentment and drew criticism. In an address, PM Modi launched a sharp attack on Congress and RJD. The PM said, "You all know that my mother is no longer in this world. Some time ago, after completing 100 years of age, she left us all. My mother, who had nothing to do with politics, was subjected to vile abuses from the RJD-Congress platform. This is deeply saddening, painful, and distressing".

"The slang used on a Congress-RJD stage was not just for my mother, but for crores of mothers and sisters. Princes born in royal families won't understand the suffering of an underprivileged mother and her son's struggles," he said at the launch of a scheme for Bihar's women entrepreneurs in Bihar. Nearly 20 lakh women were on the video conference.

"I want to tell those who abused my mother in front of the people of Bihar -- Modi might forgive you once, but the land of Bihar and India has never tolerated insult to a mother," PM Modi said.
