Addressing a poll-bound rally in Mandi, Kangana Ranaut attacked a few opposition leaders and, by mistake, accused Tejasvi Surya – a BJP candidate from Bangalore South– of “hooliganism” and “eating fish”. However, it was former Bihar deputy chief minister Tejashwi Yadav who drew criticism for eating fish allegedly on the eve of Navratri. In the video posted by Tejashwi Yadav on April 9, he was seen eating fried fish after a “hectic” campaigning for the Lok Sabha polls.
In a video clip, the actor-turned-politician is purportedly seen launching a sharp attack on opposition leaders, including Rahul Gandhi and Akhilesh Yadav and said, “There’s a party of spoilt princes”, whether it’s Rahul Gandhi who wants to grow potatoes on the Moon, or it’s Tejasvi Surya who does hooliganism and eats fish…or it’s Akhilesh Yadav who does weird talks….”
