In recent weeks, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) National President J.P. Nadda has launched a series of sharp criticisms against Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, primarily focusing on Gandhi's opposition to the Election Commission's Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Bihar and his allegations of "vote theft". Nadda has accused Gandhi of making contradictory statements and irresponsibly questioning the Election Commission's work.

Nadda's offensive gained momentum when a video surfaced of a woman who initially claimed that six members of her family were missing from the draft voter list in Bihar during Gandhi's "Voter Adhikar Yatra". She later retracted her statement. Nadda seized on this, sharing the video and mocking Gandhi's "vote chori" claims as a "scripted PR" stunt. He used the lyrics of a song, "I am still standing there," to jab at Gandhi, highlighting the woman's retraction.

Nadda has also accused Gandhi of "inconsistency" in his allegations regarding voter list manipulation, referencing Gandhi's claims about voter figures in Maharashtra. Nadda has also alleged that the opposition's insults aimed at Prime Minister Narendra Modi's late mother reflected a "filthy mindset". He predicted that the people of Bihar would deliver a strong response to the Congress party in the upcoming elections. Nadda, who spent his childhood in Bihar, contrasted the progress made under the BJP-led NDA government with the previous "jungle raj" era, alluding to the tenure of Lalu Prasad. He stated that under the NDA, Bihar has been registering a double-digit growth rate.

These attacks occurred in the context of Rahul Gandhi's "Voter Adhikar Yatra," a campaign against the Election Commission's SIR of the voter list in Bihar, which Gandhi alleges is a scheme to steal votes. The Election Commission has dismissed Gandhi's claims and asked him to lodge a formal complaint or apologize.

Nadda's criticism also extended to the alleged use of abusive language against Prime Minister Modi during Rahul Gandhi's "Voter Adhikar Yatra" in Bihar. Nadda condemned the incident, calling it a "stain on our democracy" and asserting that the Congress-led INDIA bloc would be "punished" by the people in the upcoming assembly polls. He specifically targeted Gandhi and Tejashwi Yadav, calling them "two spoilt princes" who have brought disrepute to Bihar and its culture.
