Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Friday lashed out at Rahul Gandhi over a viral video showing abusive language used against Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his late mother at an INDIA bloc rally in Bihar, and said that the Congress leader has started “politics of hatred” in the country.
He condemned the abusive remarks against the Prime Minister and listed the derogatory words used by Congress leaders over a period of time.
A massive controversy erupted in Bihar after a video purportedly showing a Congress worker abusing PM Modi at a public meeting in Darbhanga during Rahul Gandhi’s Voter Adhikaar Yatra surfaced online. The man shouted abusive slogans from the dais, which had posters of Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi, and Tejashwi Yadav. This was the same spot from where they had departed for Muzaffarpur. A man was arrested for the act.

“Congress leaders have committed the most condemnable act by using derogatory words against PM Modi’s mother during their Ghuspaithiya Bachao Yatra. I condemn it…I want to tell the people that the kind of politics of hatred that Rahul Gandhi has started will take our public life to ruin,” he said while addressing an event in Assam.

Shah listed the Congress leaders who used abusive language against PM Modi and asked if they would win elections by using such language.
“This is not happening for the first time. Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi, Mani Shankar Aiyar, Digvijaya Singh, Jairam Ramesh, Renuka Chaudhary — every Congress leader has used derogatory language for PM Modi. What do Congress leaders think? Would you win elections by using such language?” he said.
“I want to tell the Congress leaders that the more you abuse PM Modi, the more the Lotus will bloom. You tried it in every election, you still do not want to learn,” he added.
Nitish Kumar Condemns Abuse
Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar condemned the abuse and slammed Congress and RJD for the act.
“During the Voter Adhikaar Yatra, the kind of abusive language used from the Congress and RJD stage against Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji and his late mother is extremely inappropriate, and I condemn it,” Nitish Kumar tweeted.
Congress Reacts To Abuse Video
Congress leader Pawan Khera claimed that the abuse was hurled by “BJP’s own agent” and alleged that the party was “creating” an issue to divert attention from the Yatra.
“This remark has been made by their (BJP’s) own agent. They just want to create an issue so that they can divert attention from our Yatra. Their theft has been caught, so these people are frustrated. Find out who that person is who was arrested, whose man he is… The public is watching everything, and the entire country is watching the BJP’s goondaism,” Khera claimed.
