In the run-up to the 2015 Assembly elections in Bihar, state Chief Minister Nitish Kumar had repeatedly accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of having insulted Bihar and the average Bihari.
Congress President Sonia Gandhi appears to have taken a leaf out of Kumar's book, as she is pressing the insult charge against Modi during her campaign in Assam that goes to the polls next month.
On Wednesday, she alleged "discrimination" against Assam by the Modi government, and asked: "Why are brothers and sisters of the Northeast and Assam being insulted so much? Why is (state chief minister) Tarun Gogoi being insulted this much? Why are people of Assam being insulted so much?"
