Bihar Congress shares AI video of Modi and his late mother, stirs fresh row; BJP says 'cheap politics'

The AI generated video shows Modi goes to sleep saying he completed "vote chori" for the day.

Then Heeraben Modi appears in the Prime Minister's dream where she slams her son for using her name for the sake of votes.

Hitting back at the Congress, BJP IT Cell head Amit Malviya wrote on X, "The late mother of the first Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji was abused from the Congress-RJD platform.

"Now, a video of her is being made to insult her. This makes one thing clear: that the Prime Minister's mother is being abused on Rahul Gandhi's instructions. This is the height of Congress's cheap politics."

Abuse against Modi and his mother

A man identified as Rizwi alias Raja had shouted abusive slogans against the Prime Minister and his late mother at the rally which was conducted by the Congress and Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD).

The incident occurred during the Vote Adhikaar Yatra which was spearheaded by Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition cum Congress MP Rahul Gandhi and RJD top leader Tejashwi Yadav.

PM Modi's response

Speaking at a Bihar event virtually, Modi said, "What happened in Bihar a few days ago... I hadn't even imagined it. From the RJD-Congress platform in Bihar, my mother was abused... These abuses are not just an insult to my mother... they are an insult to the mothers, sisters, and daughters of the country."

"A poor mother thus toils to provide education and upbringing to her children, instilling high values in them. That is why the place of a mother is considered even above that of gods and goddesses. These are Bihar's values, and this sentiment simply comes from every Bihari's mouth - The place of mother is even above gods and ancestors!"

Without taking any name, the Prime Minister attacked Congress MP Rahul Gandhi and RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav over "dynasty politics" and called them "princes".

"The penance of a poor mother, the suffering of her son—these young princes born into royal families cannot understand. These honorable people were born with a silver spoon in their mouths. The power of the country and Bihar seems like an inheritance of their family to them.

"The mentality that abuses mothers, the mentality that abuses sisters, considers women weak. This mindset treats women as objects of exploitation and oppression. Therefore, whenever an anti-woman mentality has come to power, mothers-sisters-daughters have had to endure the most suffering," he said.
