Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has strongly condemned the Congress party for allegedly using derogatory language against Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The criticism comes after a purported video showed an unidentified person using a Hindi expletive against Modi from a dais raised during a yatra in Darbhanga town, Bihar.

Sarma alleged that the Congress party leaders lack both culture and civility, and that their behavior is evidence of the deplorable mentality of the INDIA alliance. He further stated that the Congress has continuously used derogatory language against Modi due to their frustration over failing to defeat him politically.

“The Congress party leaders lack both culture and civility. In Darbhanga, Congress and their ally RJD once again proved this,” Sarma said in a post on X. He added that gaining power is a “far-fetched dream for them; they will not even receive the forgiveness of the public”.

A delegation of the Bihar BJP lodged a complaint at the Kotwali police station in Patna on Thursday in connection with the incident. The authenticity of the video could not be independently verified.
