Senior Congress leader Ajay Rai was captured on video making offensive and vulgar remarks about Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The video, widely circulated on social media, shows Uttar Pradesh Congress Committee (UPCC) chief Ajay Rai making inappropriate comments while interacting with a group of people. BJP IT cell head Amit Malviya condemned the incident and shared the video, highlighting the Congress leader’s disrespectful comments towards the Prime Minister.
The incident is expected to escalate into a significant political controversy, with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) strongly criticizing the remarks made by Ajay Rai. Malviya pointed out Prime Minister Modi’s graciousness in showing concern for Rai’s health previously, contrasting it with Rai’s recent offensive behavior. The abusive comments directed at PM Modi are likely to face widespread backlash from the public, raising questions about the ethics and conduct of the Congress party.
On May 2, 2026, Ajay Rai was hospitalized in Lucknow after fainting at a public event due to low sodium levels. Prime Minister Modi had expressed his well wishes for Rai’s speedy recovery upon hearing the news. Following his recuperation, Rai has been vocal in his criticism of the Modi government on various issues, such as the economy and NEET paper leaks. In the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, Rai contested against PM Modi from the Varanasi constituency and was defeated by a significant margin.
