In a recent gathering, Rahul Gandhi, leader of the Indian National Congress party, cooked Champaran mutton alongside veteran politician Lalu Prasad Yadav and his daughter Misa Bharti. The occasion, which took place a month ago, saw the trio engage in a discussion about politics and enjoy a meal that included Champaran mutton, a popular dish from Bihar.
The meeting, which took place in Delhi, was documented in a video released by the Congress party. In the video, Rahul Gandhi can be seen preparing the mutton, and he mentioned that his sister, Priyanka Gandhi, had requested a portion of it. Priyanka later enjoyed the dish at home but humorously questioned whether Rahul had actually prepared it. Rahul explained that everyone present had contributed to the meal’s preparation.
During their meal, the group discussed various topics, including politics and the current state of affairs in India. Lalu Prasad Yadav mentioned his preference for Thai food, prompting Rahul to praise Priyanka’s skills in making Thai salad Som Tam. Rahul expressed his admiration for Lalu’s political acumen, and the conversation turned to the essence of politics. Lalu emphasized that the fight against injustice is the spice of politics.
Rahul also questioned Lalu about the periodic surges of hatred spread by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Lalu explained that political hunger never gets satiated and suggested that economic conditions play a significant role in the spread of hatred. Rahul cited examples of economic challenges and their impact on society.
The gathering also touched on issues facing the region, such as the closure of schools in Mewat, with Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav offering insights into the situation. Lalu Prasad Yadav encouraged the younger generation to remember the values set by their parents and grandparents and provided political advice to Rahul.
The video captures the informal and candid moments of the gathering, highlighting the personal rapport between the politicians and their discussions over a hearty meal.
