Tejashwi Yadav Faces Backlash for Eating Fish During Navratri, Responds with ‘IQ Test’ to Criticism
After receiving criticism from several BJP lawmakers for “calling himself a son of Sanatan but not accepting its values,” Tejashwi Yadav, the former deputy chief minister of Bihar, said on Wednesday that he had put BJP leaders through a “IQ test.” After a video of Tejashwi eating fish became viral on social media, the debate started. For lunch today, Mukesh ji has brought fish. It has one bone and tastes really good. We have roti, salt, onion, and green chilies with this. We are occupied with the election campaign all day, so this is our only 10- to 15-minute break during the day,” the former deputy chief of staff stated in the video.
The next question puts Mukesh Sahani in front of the audience: What fish has his father, RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav, brought? Mithilanchal is home to this fish, particularly in the Kosi area. It’s known as Chechra,” Sahni continued. Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) is leading the Mahagathbandhan alliance in the state, which Sahani, a former minister from Bihar, recently joined.
Following the video’s viral success, Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Vijay Sinha said, “A few people show themselves as a son of Sanatan but can’t accept the values of Sanatan.” While I have nothing against customs related to eating, I feel that you are demonstrating the politics of capitulation by posting a video of yourself eating fish on Navratri. Although one should be proud of their nation, religion, morals, and society, it is not appropriate to denigrate them.Making fun of your own religion is hardly an indication of secularism. “Santushtikaran ki rajneeti hogi, ab tushtikaran ki nahi,” stated Prime Minister Modi emphatically.

Tejashwi later responded to the controversy by saying, “One thing that everyone should be clear about is that I have been moving around with Mukesh Sahni for the last three or four days.” I wanted to test the intelligence of BJP leaders, so I posted it there. I have talked about the video’s April 8th date. They lack the expertise and never discuss topics like poverty, migration, and unemployment. This exam is intended to reveal to the public the true nature of the BJP’s membership.
