The now-deleted post, which had drawn widespread criticism, stated that \u201cBihar and Bidi start with B&#8221;, sparking political outrage and giving fresh ammunition to the BJP to target the opposition alliance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\"><span class=\"cf0\">The post, shared on the official X handle of the Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee, was intended to mock Prime Minister Narendra Modi\u2019s frequent use of alliteration during his speeches. However, the phrasing quickly triggered backlash for being derogatory towards Bihar and Biharis.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\"><span class=\"cf0\">Facing flak from the BJP, which accused the INDIA bloc of \u201cinsulting the people of Bihar&#8221;, <\/span><span class=\"cf0\">Tejashwi<\/span><span class=\"cf0\"> Yadav broke his silence, calling the post \u201cwrong&#8221; and clarifying that the RJD neither endorses such language nor was consulted about the comment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\"><span class=\"cf0\">\u201cWe completely disagree with what was written.

Several BJP leaders, including union ministers from Bihar, demanded an apology from the Congress leadership and questioned the silence of senior INDIA bloc leaders.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\"><span class=\"cf0\">The Congress, for its part, deleted the post shortly after it went viral and claimed it did not reflect the party\u2019s official stance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atawrap\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atadetailwrp\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd ataname\"><span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atthumb\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"authorimg\" src=\"data:image\/jpeg;base64,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\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"\/><\/figure>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd attitle\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/byline\/news-desk-17918.html\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atamail\">News Desk<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The News Desk is a team of passionate editors and writers who break and analyse the most important events unfolding in India and abroad.
