Both met at Patna airport
In fact, amidst the excitement regarding Bihar Assembly elections, the video of the meeting of the two leaders at Patna airport went viral, in which Khesari Lal Yadav was seen touching the feet of Manoj Tiwari. During this, BJP MP Manoj Tiwari also accepted his greeting with a smile, blessed him and also patted him on the back.

What did Khesari Lal say about Ram temple?
Recently, Bhojpuri actor and RJD candidate Khesari Lal Yadav had given a statement regarding Ram Temple. Khesari Lal Yadav had said, “Will I become a master after studying in Ram Mandir, will I become a professor after studying in Ram Mandir or will I become an officer?” That faith and this is a different topic, but with education a person can run the country. All I say is that education is important. You build Ram temple, build mosque, build everything, but also work for education and the future of our children.
Khesari Lal had attacked Manoj Tiwari, Nirahua and other Bhojpuri star campaigners. He had said that if BJP’s star campaigner says that if the foundation stone of the factory is laid here tomorrow, then I will not contest elections for the rest of my life. On Nirahua’s Yadmulla statement, he had said that if talking about education and unemployment makes me a Yadmulla, then I am. I respect all religions.
