00:00Rahul Gandhi or Tejasvi Surya, who do their goondagardi, eat fish.
00:07During an election rally in Himachal Pradesh, Kangana Ranaut, now a BJP candidate, inadvertently
00:14mixed up Tejasvi Yadav with BJP MP Tejasvi Surya, while criticising the Rashtriya Janata
00:22Dal leader for eating fish.
00:23However, it was Yadav who had previously faced criticism for a video showcasing him consuming
00:29fish during Navratri.
00:31The rally, held in Mandi, highlighted Ranaut's political foray in the Lok Sabha seat.
00:35In her address, she not only attacked Yadav, but also accused Surya of hooliganism and
00:41referenced his alleged fish-eating habits.
00:45While criticising the opposition, she said, there is a party of spoiled Shehzadas.
00:50They themselves don't know where to go, be it Rahul Gandhi, who wants to grow potatoes
00:54on the moon, or Tejasvi Surya, who indulges in hooliganism and eats fish.
01:15As videos of Ranaut's gaffe went viral on social media, Tejasvi Yadav reacted to the
01:20mix-up and said, yeh mahotarma kaun hai, which loosely translates to, who is this
01:25madam?
01:26Tejasvi Yadav found himself embroiled in controversy last month when a video surfaced on social
01:31media showing him and Vikas Sheel Insaan Party chief Mukesh Sahni indulging in a meal of
01:37fried fish and rotis in a helicopter after campaigning.
01:41This drew criticism from BJP leaders, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, particularly
01:45because it occurred during Navratri, a period of religious observance for many.
01:50Yadav later clarified that the video was recorded before the commencement of Navratri festivities,
01:55seeking to assuage concerns about the timing of the footage.
01:59Kangana Ranaut's remarks at a rally sparked controversy as she not only made a historic
02:03gaffe but also launched a scathing attack on the Congress, including late leaders.
02:08She questioned the source of wealth of Motilal Nehru, lightening him to Ambani of his time,
02:13and suggested that voting favoured Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel over Jawaharlal Nehru for
02:17Prime Minister.
02:18The Congress lodged a complaint with the Election Commission against her.
02:21Ranaut criticised dynastic politics, referring to the Congress as dimak, that is, termite,
02:26of dynastic rule, contrasting it with the BJP government.
02:29She also made veiled references to Vikramaditya Singh, her opponent in Mandi Himachal Pradesh.
02:35In its complaint filed by state conveners, the Congress said Ranaut used derogatory and
02:40insulting remarks against senior leaders of the Congress party and crossed all lines when
02:45making comparisons of freedom fighters with businessmen.
02:48She has tried to draw comparisons between freedom fighter Motilal Nehru with one of
02:52the top businessmen of the country.
