Union minister makes ‘kheer’ comment sparking rumours of new alliance in Bihar

The RJD has welcomed Rashtriya Lok Samta Party (RLSP) chief Upendra Kushwaha's observation that an electoral union of Yadavs and Koiris in Bihar would help in the preparation of good 'kheer', stating that such a caste equation holds the potential to uplift socially deprived classes.

RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav said in a tweet that 'panchmewa' (a delicacy prepared with five dry fruits on religious occasions) can not only restore one to good health but also help create an egalitarian society. “Panchmewa gives energy and is a good food item,” he added.
