PM Modi expressed shock at the use of such language to describe the youth of Uttar Pradesh. He emphasized that the Congress leader, referring to the 'yuvraj' of the Congress family, insulted the youth of the state as they make progress.
PM Modi asserted that the Congress harbors hatred towards Lord Ram and cannot see beyond their family and vote bank.

The Prime Minister asserted that these leaders appreciate only those who praise them, expressing surprise at the extent of Congress's animosity towards Uttar Pradesh after the inauguration of the Ram Mandir.
Rahul Gandhi had made the controversial remarks during a rally in Amethi, addressing the issue of unemployment and depicting a grim picture of UP's future. He claimed to witness young men lying drunk on the roads in Varanasi, contrasting it with the construction of the Ram Mandir where, according to him, only influential figures like Ambani and Adani would be seen, not representing the backward or Dalit communities.
