“Maa ka apman INDI alliance ki pehchaan,” said BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla, accusing RJD workers in Samastipur, Bihar, of insulting Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s late mother. He called it the fourth such instance of abuse from members of the INDI alliance, sparking outrage within BJP ranks. Poonawalla demanded an apology and disciplinary action from alliance leaders.
During a press conference, Poonawalla repeated, “Maa ka apman INDI alliance ki pehchaan,” and criticized the silence of senior opposition figures. He claimed that such personal attacks reflect a deeper culture of disrespect within the alliance. According to him, targeting PM Modi’s mother is not just unethical—it’s politically motivated and morally unacceptable.
The BJP has launched a social media campaign to highlight the issue, urging voters to reject politics rooted in personal insults. Party leaders believe this incident will resonate with the public, especially in Bihar, where family values hold strong cultural significance.
Local BJP units in Samastipur have staged protests, demanding accountability from RJD leadership. They submitted a memorandum to district officials, calling for legal action against those involved. Meanwhile, RJD has not issued an official response, though some leaders have privately dismissed the allegations as politically driven.
This controversy adds fuel to an already heated election atmosphere in Bihar. With assembly polls approaching, both BJP and INDI alliance members are sharpening their narratives. Poonawalla’s remarks are expected to dominate headlines and influence voter sentiment in the coming weeks.
