What is Tejashwi Yadav's fish controversy?

A video showing RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav enjoying a fish fry stirred a controversy as BJP leaders frowned upon a non-vegetarian meal during Navratri.

The video, filmed inside a helicopter, captures Yadav sharing a meal with Mukesh Sahni, a former minister who now leads the VIP.

After facing backlash, he clarified that the video was recorded before the Navratri festivities began and accused his critics of having a “low IQ.”

Union minister Giriraj Singh attacked Yadav, labelling him as a "seasonal sanatani" who engages in "politics of appeasement." Singh also alleged that Yadav's father, RJD president Lalu Prasad, had allowed "an influx of Rohingya Muslims and Bangladesh immigrants" during the party's tenure in power in Bihar.

Tejashwi Yadav and Mukesh Sahani unite for caste synergy

Yadav and VIP's Sahani, the latest addition to the RJD-led ‘Mahagathbandhan’, have been campaigning together actively. Their aim is to unite Yadavs, dedicated RJD supporters, and the 'Nishad' caste group, traditionally linked with fishing. Sahni, a former Bollywood set designer turned politician, is seen as a symbol of their shared hopes and aspirations.
