Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday (November 4) accused the Congress and its allies of using abusive language against women leaders of other parties. He strongly criticized the objectionable comments made against Shiv Sena (Shinde faction) leader Shaina NC in Maharashtra and Sita Soren in Jharkhand.
The Prime Minister said, “A sister is contesting elections in Maharashtra, the kind of dirty language used for her has become their habit…” Modi made this statement at a rally held in Chaibasa, Jharkhand.
The Prime Minister said that the people of Maharashtra are ready to give a befitting reply to the Congress and its allies in the elections. He also expressed anger over the derogatory remarks made against Shaina NC, who is contesting from the Mumbadevi assembly constituency as a Shiv Sena (Shinde faction) candidate. Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) leader Arvind Sawant apologized after his “imported maal” remark stirred up a controversy.

Along with this, the Prime Minister also questioned the silence of Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren on the “rejected maal” comment against Sita Soren by Congress leader Irfan Ansari and said that Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) can even tolerate the insult of tribal leaders for power. Sita Soren expressed her pain by getting emotional in a press conference on this comment.
It is worth noting that voting will be held in two phases on November 20 in Maharashtra and November 13 and 20 in Jharkhand. Counting of votes in both the states will be held on November 23.
