Will Criticism of PM Modi’s Mother Energize BJP Voters in Bihar?

The BJP appears to be leveraging a familiar tactic: turning perceived personal attacks against Prime Minister Narendra Modi into a rallying cry for their supporters. This time, the focus is on recent criticism directed at his mother.

Turning Controversy into Votes

The party has a history of successfully channeling negative commentary about their leader into electoral gains. They believe this strategy resonates deeply with their base, painting a picture of a leader unfairly targeted and strengthening their resolve to support him.

The Bihar Election Strategy

This approach is now being deployed in Bihar, where the BJP hopes to galvanize voters by portraying the remarks about PM Modi’s mother as a disrespectful attack not just on him personally, but on Indian family values. Will this resonate with voters in Bihar, and will it translate to a surge in support at the ballot box? The upcoming elections will provide the answer.
