"Earlier I used to disagree with the Prime Minister, now I am worried about the Prime Minister.

Delivering Speeches Under The Sun Effected PM's Brain: Congress 

Reacting strongly to the PM's 'mujra' remark, Congress's Pawan Khera wrote in Hindi on social media: "Today, I heard the word 'mujra' from the mouth of the Prime Minister. Modiji, what is this state of mind? Why don't you take something? Amit Shah and JP Nadda ji should get him treated immediately. Perhaps delivering speeches under the Sun has had too much of an effect on his brain". 

आज प्रधानमंत्री के मुँह से ‘मुजरा’ शब्द सुना। मोदी जी, ये क्या हाल बना रखा है?
कुछ लेते क्यों नहीं?
अमित शाह व जेपी नड्डा जी को चाहिए इनका तुरंत इलाज़ करवाएँ।
शायद धूप में प्रचार करने से दिमाग़ पर कुछ ज़्यादा ही असर हो गया है। pic.twitter.com/kfwfb09w7s

'Such Cheap Language': TMC

Trinamool Congress MP Saket Gokhale also criticised Modi, saying, "From 'Naari Shakti', the man has come down to using words like 'mujra'. After 10 years of PR and a carefully curated image, Modi can't hide his true self anymore. Such cheap language." 

"Scary to think what all he must be saying during his foreign trips as PM," Gokhale added. 

Priyanka Chaturvedi of the Shiv Sena (UBT) shared a clip of the PM's speech and wrote, "Get well soon, Modi ji". 

Samajwadi Party spokesperson Fakhrul Hasan Chaand commented on the PM's remarks. stating, "Today, when the polling for the sixth phase is underway and the campaign for the next phase is going on, the BJP has become disappointed. Their language has changed, and they are talking about 'mujra' now. The BJP has no answer to people's questions and only wants to mislead people. The people are well aware and will vote for us in the elections and I.N.D.I.A bloc is going to form the government.
