Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) MP Misa Bharti recently found herself embroiled in controversy over her remarks regarding Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) ahead of the Lok Sabha Elections 2024. Here’s a breakdown of the events and reactions:

Initial Statement and Clarification: On April 11, Misa Bharti made a statement suggesting that if the NDA were to lose power, PM Modi would end up in jail. However, on Friday, she clarified that her statement was aimed at the corrupt individuals, indicating that they would face legal consequences, rather than targeting the Prime Minister personally.

Second Statement: On Sunday, Bharti reiterated her stance, asserting that if the INDIA bloc comes into power, PM Modi and other BJP leaders would face legal repercussions. She highlighted the focus on MSP implementation and accused PM Modi of misinterpreting their actions as appeasement.

Political Backlash: These remarks stirred a political debate, with BJP leaders condemning Bharti’s comments. They criticized her family’s history, especially referring to her father, Lalu Prasad Yadav’s involvement in the fodder scam.

BJP Response: BJP MP Ravi Shankar Prasad was particularly vocal, warning Bharti against making such statements and reminding her of her family’s corruption allegations. He advised her to refrain from “daydreaming.”

Electoral Context: Misa Bharti is contesting from the Patliputra Lok Sabha constituency in Bihar, pitted against BJP candidate Ram Kripal Yadav, whom she lost to in the previous elections. Bihar is crucial in the upcoming polls, with voting scheduled in seven phases starting from April 19, contributing 40 seats to the Lok Sabha.

The exchange reflects the heated atmosphere of political campaigning, highlighting the intense rivalry between parties in Bihar as the election dates draw nearer.
