RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav reacted to the criticism over his "Ye sootra ko hum mootra samajhte hai (We consider these sources to be nonsense)" remark to a media reporter and said that there is nothing wrong with his remark. "What else do we call someone who spreads fake news?" he added. Meanwhile, BJP had called Tejashwi "uneducated" over his remark.
