The video, filmed inside a helicopter, captures Yadav sharing a meal with Mukesh Sahni, a former minister who now leads the VIP.

After facing backlash, he clarified that the video was recorded before the Navratri festivities began and accused his critics of having a “low IQ.”

Tejashwi Yadav and Mukesh Sahani unite for caste synergy

Yadav and VIP's Sahani, the latest addition to the RJD-led ‘Mahagathbandhan’, have been campaigning together actively.
