Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi will hold a Bihar ahead of the upcoming elections. But surprisingly alliance partners Lalu Prasad and Nitish Kumar will stay away from it.
Lalu said earlier this week that his son, Tejaswi Yadav, will represent their party, the Rashtriya Janata Dal at Gandhi's rally in West Champaran. Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar will skip the rally too, as he would be busy with ticket distribution.
Bihar Congress President Ashok Choudhary told PTI that they have received a communication that like RJD supremo Lalu Prasad, Kumar too is occupied with seat allotment and selection of candidates and hence would not be able to it make to the programme. He, however, said too much of political meaning should not be read into it.
