In Bihar, political tensions flared as abusive remarks directed at Prime Minister Narendra Modi during Rahul Gandhi's 'Voter Adhikar Yatra' resulted in street conflicts. BJP supporters stormed the state Congress headquarters, with demands for apologies from Gandhi and his allies echoing across political lines.

An arrest was made following the incident in Darbhanga, where expletives were projected over the mic. Meanwhile, BJP workers clashed with Congress counterparts in Patna. State minister Nitin Nabin insisted, "We will not tolerate the insult," demanding redress amid heightened party tensions.
