PATNA---------------------------An indecent comment on Prime Minister Narendra Modi has set the politics of Bihar on fire. On Friday, the capital Patna became a battleground over the alleged objectionable statement made by Rahul Gandhi during the 'Voter Rights Yatra'. Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Congress workers clashed outside the Congress office, after which both sides used lathi-rods and bricks-stones. Many vehicles were also vandalized in this bloody conflict.

The matter heated up when BJP workers reached the Congress office to protest by raising slogans against Rahul Gandhi. In response, Congress workers also started sloganeering. Soon the verbal war turned into a violent clash and a battle broke out on the road. Heavy police force has been deployed outside the Congress office to control the situation. At present, Congress workers are protesting by sitting on the ground at the office gate, due to which there is a huge jam on the road.

The Union Home Minister has also reacted sharply to this political earthquake. He said, "Congress has done the most disgusting thing by using abusive words for PM Modi's mother during Rahul Gandhi's visit." At the same time, the police has also intensified action in this case. Darbhanga Police arrested a youth named Rizvi alias Raja from Bhapura village of Singhwada police station area late Thursday night on charges of abusing the Prime Minister. The accused Mohammad Rizvi is a pickup driver by profession and his interrogation is going on. This dispute which started over a comment has now reached from street clashes to political rhetoric and police action, due to which the political temperature of the state is at its peak.
