This is not the first time Congress has mentioned Prime Minister Narendra Modi's late mother in a campaign. However, this is the first time the party has officially done so.
This will give you more ammunition to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). (file)
On September 10, Bihar Congress posted an AI-generated video of what appears to be the look of Prime Minister Modi and his mother, the late Heyraven. Imaginary dialogue is political to say the least.
This will give you more ammunition to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Shezad Puonawala, a national party spokesman, argued that “Mahira oh Maatl Shakti Ka Apman, Congress's identity is disrespectful of women and women's power.” Poonawala called the video “disgusting” and said that Congress “exceeded all restrictions.”
Radha Mohan Das Agarwal, the national secretary of the BJP, called it “shame and only shame.” He called for legal action by Delhi police and called on the Delhi Police Chief to commence a complaint.
Party spokesman and Southern face, Cr Kesavan, who was himself a former MP, called the party “misemen.” “The Indian National Assembly shortens the now infamous Nari Shakti,” he asked in a video statement issued. He called the video “idiotty.”
This is not the first time Congress has mentioned the Prime Minister's late mother in a campaign. However, this is the first time the party has officially done so.
When Prime Minister Modi answered the opposition
It is said that the slogans containing abusive remarks against Prime Minister Modi and his mother were yelled from the stage during the “Voters Adakal Yatra” organized by the Congress and the RJD on August 27th.
The Prime Minister himself took on the opposition. “I never even imagined what happened in Bihar a few days ago. My mother was abused from the RJD Congress platform in Bihar. These abuses are humiliating to my mother, sisters and daughters.”
Bihar and NDA leaders, especially among women, have erupted, and have made it a major election issue and made Mahagas Bandhan awkward. But instead of escaping it from public memory, Congress jogged it with a video generated by a brand new AI, giving it fresh ammunition in the hands of BJPs.
It's not the first time
This has historically been proven to Congress. Every time Modi is personally targeted, it is boomeranged for the grand old party. Even if he was not the prime minister, Mani Shankar Ayya suggested, “Narendra Modi would never become the prime minister of the country…but if he wanted to distribute tea here, we will find a place for him.” Modi has become prime minister of the country.
In 2018, Aiyar was once again called Modi “Neech.” “He (Modi) is Neech Kiss Kaaadmi who has no saviyata (course),” Ayyar said of Modi. Tackling the election rally in Surat, Modi returned to Ayyal to link him to Modi's caste. “Mani Shankar Ayyar calls me Neech and from Nikli Jaati (lowwork caste). Isn't this an insult in Gujarat? Isn't it an insult to India's great values? But the people of Gujarat will revenge on December 18th and will tell you the exact meaning of Neech,” Modi said. Congress did not win the election.
During the Rafalejet controversy, Rahul Gandhi linked the court's orders and stated that “the court has agreed to Chou Kidar Chohai.” He made “Chowkidar Chor Hai” an election accusation in the 2019 Lok Sabha poll. In the retort, Prime Minister Modi named him “Chowkidar” on all social media platforms and asked his followers to follow him. Modi won it with a landslide victory, but Gandhi submitted an unconditional apology for misattributed the comment to the court.
And these are just a few specimens from the vast examples of personal attacks on PM Modi that backfired in Congress. Now, in this AI-generated video by Bihar Congress, we are dragging the mother of the deceased. We can expect Prime Minister Modi himself to raise the issue next time he is in Bihar.
