Modi’s “naraaz fufa” remark resurfaces as Rahul Gandhi visits Rae Bareli

Supporters shouted “naraaz fufa” outside the Rae Bareli Collectorate as Rahul Gandhi arrived for a DISHA meeting, echoing a recent comment by Narendra Modi.

On Wednesday, Rahul Gandhi reached the Rae Bareli Collectorate to preside over a DISHA meeting reviewing central schemes, when several onlookers shouted “naraaz fufa.” The phrase, used by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Vadodara to criticize dissenters, appeared directed at Gandhi as he entered the venue. Gandhi’s itinerary in his home constituency includes discussions with bullion traders, representatives of the Central Bar Association, and groups of sportspersons, doctors and chemists, followed by visits to flood-affected villages in Shivgarh and Maharajganj.

The chant highlights the heightened political tension in Uttar Pradesh as parties gear up for the upcoming state assembly polls. The DISHA meeting will assess implementation of government programmes and pending issues. Gandhi’s outreach aims to bolster his profile ahead of the election campaign.

Why it matters

The incident underscores the sharp political rhetoric shaping Uttar Pradesh’s election climate.
