On Friday, a video of Uttar Pradesh Congress chief minister Ajay Rai allegedly making “expletives” against Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Mahoba went viral.
Terming the video as a fake video created by the Bharatiya Janata Party using artificial intelligence, Rai told PTI that he would file a police complaint in this regard once he reaches Lucknow.
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath condemned Rai’s “expletive” remarks and said it was a deep-rooted political culture in the Congress.

Without naming Rahul Gandhi, the Prime Minister also said that Congress’s ‘Yuvraj’ had earlier shown similar lack of values in his actions and statements.
“The Congress has now reached the pinnacle of frustration, despair, passivity and political bankruptcy. It is no longer in a position to seek forgiveness from the people,” Adityanath said.
Uttar Pradesh BJP leader and Union Minister Pankaj Chaudhary said Rai’s comments were “highly reprehensible”, “unfortunate” and reflected the “desperate” mindset of the Congress.
“This statement is not just an insult to the Prime Minister, but to the sentiments of 140 million people who see him as a symbol of development, security and dignity,” Chaudhary said in a statement released by the Bharatiya Janata Party.
He said that in a democracy, everyone has the right to dissent, but Congress needs to understand that civility and civility constitute the very soul of Indian politics.
“Personal insults and derogatory remarks will only accelerate the political decline of Congress,” he said.
Chaudhary also called on the Congress leadership to issue an immediate public apology and direct them to use restraint and dignified language.
“The Congress should be ashamed for using such deplorable language,” said Rakesh Tripathi, a spokesperson for the BJP. It goes beyond all bounds of decency. There is a competition within Congress to hurl abuses and Congress will have to face the consequences. ”
