It was observed by various news outlets that, in a recent public raly on 3rd November, 2020 in Saharsa district of Bihar Shri Narendra Modi Ji made a statement that ‘Proponents of ‘jungle raj’ don’t want you to chant Bharat mata ki jai or Jai Shri Ram.” I would humby request the Election Commission of India to seek clarification on these blatant communal and inflammatory remarks by our Prime Minister to gain votes for BJP during the rally at Saharsa. Will be grateful if my request meets your positive consideration.”

In the followed up tweet, he wrote, “This is a blatant communal speech by the Hon’ble PM. Am filing a complaint to @ECISVEEP to act proactively as ECI acted against #KamalNath ji & seek an explanation from Hon’ble PM, who stops or does not want citizens to say “Bharat Mata Ki Jai”or “Jai shri Ram!” @SpokespersonECI.”


While addressing the people during the rally, PM Modi said, “There is a group of people that doesn’t want you to chant ‘Bharat Mata ki Jai’ or ‘Jai Shri Ram.’ All of them have now come together and are asking for votes from the people of Bihar. There’s a need to give a befitting answer to such people in Bihar Elections.”

“It they have trouble with those who chant ‘Bharat Mata Ki Jai’, Bihar also has trouble with them,” the PM said.
