Janshakti Janata Dal chief Tej Pratap Yadav on Monday took a jibe at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, a day after he went fishing and said the Leader of Opposition should have been a cook.
Yadav said Rahul Gandhi would spend his entire life fishing and asked why he had become a politician.
“Rahul Gandhi’s job is to ride a motorcycle and spread pollution. He’ll spend his entire life fishing. The country will be plunged into darkness… ‘Jalebi chhan’na, machli pakadna, unko toh rasoiya hona chaiye tha’. Why did he become a politician?” he asked.

Rahul Gandhi jumped into a pond and participated in a traditional fish-catching ritual in Begusarai. He was accompanied by VIP chief and Mahagathbandhan’s Deputy CM face, Mukesh Sahani and Congress leader Kanhaiya Kumar.
The Leader of Opposition met fishermen and said their work is as interesting as the problems and struggles associated with it are serious.
“It felt great to meet the fishermen community in Begusarai, Bihar today with Mr. Mukesh Sahni ji, the president of VIP party. Their work is as interesting as the problems and struggles associated with it are serious. However, their hard work, passion, and deep understanding of the business in every situation is inspiring. The rivers, canals, ponds of Bihar and the fishermen who inhabit them are an important part of the state’s economy. I stand with them at every step for their rights and respect,” Rahul Gandhi wrote on X.
