Tejashwi Yadav’s Playful Marriage Advice To Chirag Paswan; Rahul Gandhi Says Applies To Me As Well | Video

Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav may be known for sharp political responses, but during a recent interaction he chose humour over hostility. When asked about remarks made by Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) chief Chirag Paswan, who had dismissed him as a mere "hanger-on" of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, Tejashwi avoided confrontation and instead offered a playful piece of personal advice.

With a broad grin, Tejashwi said, "He is our elder brother. I would definitely advise him to get married quickly." The light-hearted comment instantly drew laughter from the audience and diverted attention from the political war of words to a more personal, relatable subject.

The moment became even more memorable when Rahul Gandhi, seated beside Tejashwi, chimed in with his trademark smile: "It is applicable for me as well." His self-deprecating humour added to the cheer, turning a routine press conference into a lighter, more engaging spectacle.

This unusual exchange stood out because politics in Bihar often revolves around sharp accusations and fiery debates. Chirag Paswan himself has previously declared his loyalty to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, famously calling himself Modi's "Hanuman." Tejashwi's clever twist - suggesting marriage instead of trading barbs - not only softened the mood but also portrayed him as a leader who can use wit effectively to disarm opponents.

While Rahul Gandhi later shifted focus to serious allegations of "vote theft" in Bihar, accusing the Election Commission and BJP of manipulating rolls, the moment that truly resonated with people was Tejashwi's marriage advice to Chirag Paswan.
