The Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP) on April 10 slammed Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader and Bihar's former deputy chief minister Tejashwi Yadav for eating fish during Navratri.
The RJD leader had a shared a video of him eating fish during an election rally with Vikassheel Insaan Party (VIP) chief Mukesh Sahni. To be sure, Sahnis belong to the fishermen community.
Pouncing on the issue, BJP leader and Union minister Giriraj Singh called Tejashwi Yadav a “seasonal sanatani”.
“Tejaswi Yadav is a seasonal 'sanatani'. Illegal entry of Rohingyas and Bangladeshi refugees was allowed during his father's government to build a larger vote bank. They only use 'sanatan' for their politics."

Yadav said the date is mentioned in the video and it was shot on April 8, which is a day before the start of Navrartri. He further said BJP will never raise issues of unemployment or migration and jump on non-issues.
