दरभंगा में वोटर अधिकार यात्रा के दौरान कांग्रेस और राजद के मंच से माननीय प्रधानमंत्री श्री नरेन्द्र मोदी जी और उनकी स्व॰ माता जी के विरूद्ध जिस प्रकार की अभद्र भाषा का प्रयोग किया गया है वह अत्यंत अशोभनीय है और मैं इसकी निंदा करता हूं।

Expressing similar views, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Thursday too slammed the opposition parties over the incident and said that such remarks were an insult to 140 crore Indians.
कांग्रेस और आरजेडी के मंच से आदरणीय प्रधानमंत्री श्री @narendramodi जी के लिए प्रयुक्त अभद्र भाषा अत्यंत निंदनीय एवं राजनीतिक मर्यादा का पतन है।
INDI गठबंधन के नेताओं द्वारा किया गया यह कृत्य सिर्फ प्रधानमंत्री जी का नहीं, बल्कि 140 करोड़ भारत वासियों की भावनाओं का अपमान है।…

“He (PM Modi) is the world’s most popular leader now. This undignified language from the INDIA bloc platform is an insult to 140 crore Indians. The people of Bihar will give them a befitting reply. No civilised society can accept such language. Congress and RJD leaders should apologise for this,” Adityanath told reporters
Earlier BJP leader Krishna Singh Kallu filed a complaint against Congress MP Rahul Gandhi, calling for putting a stop to the ‘Voter Adhikar Yatra’ in the poll-bound state. Another FIR was also filed by the police at Simri police station.
Meanwhile, the local congress leader Md. Naushad issued an apology over the incident, claiming that he was unaware of the incident as he along with other leaders had left the venue.
