During his speech, Modi highlighted the incident involving Sawant’s offensive comment about Shaina NC, who recently joined the Shinde Sena faction for the upcoming Maharashtra elections. He criticized the INDIA bloc, which includes the Thackeray Sena, NCP, and Jharkhand Mukti Morcha, for their lack of response to the incident.
“The opposition used foul language against a woman leader,” Modi stated, adding, “Mothers and daughters are in shock, and the people will teach them a lesson.” He also targeted the Congress for “humiliating” Sita Soren, the BJP candidate in Jharkhand and the sister-in-law of Chief Minister Hemant Soren.

This incident highlights the importance of respectful discourse and the need to hold individuals accountable for their words, particularly when they target women.
