Biscuits with 'yogic' properties

It is usual for biscuits and tea to be served to journalists during press conferences of political parties. In Parliament on Thursday, Communist Party of India (Marxist) chief Sitaram Yechury held a press conference where biscuits made by Patanjali, an FMCG company founded by yoga guru and BJP sympathiser Ramdev, were served. Never short of a repartee, Yechury said it was no wonder that questions from journalists had become “convoluted” — reflecting yogic contortions — after they had eaten the biscuits.
