In Patna, Bihar, Tejashwi Yadav, a leader of the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), has ignited controversy after posting a video of himself eating fish in a helicopter following a campaign event. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) criticized Yadav, labeling him a 'seasonal Sanatani' for allegedly consuming fish during the Hindu festival of Navratri. In defense, Yadav claimed the video was from April 8, before Navratri began, and accused the BJP of not checking the date before criticizing him. Yadav explained his actions by stating he was continuously traveling with Mukesh Sahani in the days leading up to the post, aiming to make a point about an IQ test. The incident has led to a wider debate, with former Congress leader Pramod Krishnan questioning Yadav's intentions and accusing him of insulting Sanatanis.
