However, the authenticity of the video has not yet been independently verified.Taking to X, BJP alleged that “From the platform of Rahul Gandhi and Tejashwi Yadav’s journey, extremely offensive language was used against the late mother of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji.”

BJP terms it ‘politics at its lowest’

Lashing out at the opposition, BJP termed it politics at its lowest, adding that this incident has “crossed all boundaries of insult, hatred, and vulgarity.” BJP also attacked Rahul and Tejashwi for sharing the stage with Tamil Nadu CM M K Stalin and Telangana CM Revanth Reddy during ‘Voter Adhikar Yatra’ in Bihar. It said that Rahul and Tejashwi “first insulted the people of Bihar by inviting leaders like Stalin and Revanth Reddy, who had previously insulted Biharis, to their journey. Now, their desperation has reached such a level that they are having Prime Minister Modi Ji’s revered late mother abused.” “The language used from their platform is so filthy that it cannot even be repeated on a public forum,” it added. BJP further said that even if Rahul and Tejashwi hold their ear and do a thousand sit-ups to apologise, “people of Bihar would still not forgive them.”
