Tejashwi Yadav hits back at PM, says his remarks on mother’s insult a ‘dikhawati’
Tejashwi Yadav criticized Prime Minister Modi's comments as performative and highlighted BJP's history of insulting women while Bihar faces a statewide bandh called by NDA parties.
- On September 4, 2025, the National Democratic Alliance called a five-hour state-wide bandh in Bihar to protest abusive remarks against Prime Minister Modi's late mother.
- The bandh was triggered by reported insults made at a Congress gathering in Darbhanga and gained further support after Prime Minister Modi condemned the statements in a video message on September 2.
- Tejashwi Yadav, a key figure in the Rashtriya Janata Dal, described Modi's response as mere showmanship, questioned the appropriateness of the bandh call, and alleged that BJP members have previously insulted his mother and sisters.
- The bandh ran from 7 a.m. to 12 noon with protests led by BJP workers in Gaya and Danapur, while BJP Bihar president Dilip Jaiswal affirmed that emergency services remained unaffected.
- This dispute highlights ongoing political tensions in Bihar as Modi's criticism and the opposition's response deepen divisions ahead of key state elections.
