Singh accused Yadav of hypocrisy, alleging that his actions contradicted his claims of upholding Sanatan values, further likening his party to a "private limited company." He demanded measures to prevent infiltrators and Rohingyas from influencing Bihar's voter list.
Echoing Singh's sentiments, Bihar's Deputy Chief Minister Vijay Sinha condemned Yadav's behavior and said that eating fish during Navratri was disrespectful to his own religion. Sinha stressed the importance of embracing one's religious and cultural values, condemning any actions that undermine them.
The video, which surfaced on Tuesday, April 9, depicted Tejashwi Yadav and Mukesh Sahni dining on fish in a helicopter, with Yadav justifying his meal choice due to the time constraints of campaigning.
