Tejashwi Yadav shares light-hearted 'fish bone' jokes during lunch with Rahul Gandhi

Rashtriya Janata Dal's Tejashwi Yadav, whose pre-Navratras fish meal video ignited a political uproar, shared a playful lunch video yesterday with family and friends, featuring Congress's Rahul Gandhi as the guest of honor. The video didn't specify the meal, but Yadav hinted, "Rahul ji has now had mutton twice."

This likely refers to the time Bihar's former Chief Minister, Lalu Yadav, taught Gandhi to cook Champaran mutton, a moment widely circulated online.

The fun mood was evident from the start. Tejashwi, seated with Gandhi, joked, "Hey Sahani ji, your fish bones stuck in Modi-ji's throat?" Former Bihar minister Mukesh Sahani was Tejashwi's partner in the controversial fish meal. The video, titled "What's for lunch at the Yadav family," included political banter and concluded with Gandhi mentioning that his sister, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, wanted to cook for everyone.



The video, posted on X (formerly Twitter), concluded with a caption roughly translated as, "Bharatiya Janata Party is being defeated by the people of India," and credited to Rahul Gandhi.

Tejashwi's earlier fish meal video with Sahani, released before Navratra, sparked BJP outrage. Yadav responded by calling it a test of BJP and media followers' intelligence, highlighting their misunderstanding of the video's date.

In this election, the RJD is banking on the support of young men eager for jobs, with Yadav emphasizing the 4 lakh-plus jobs provided by the Grand Alliance government before Chief Minister Nitish Kumar ended the alliance in January.
