Former Congress president Rahul Gandhi on February 16 told Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav that he would be in the driving seat when it comes to Bihar.
The former Bihar Deputy Chief Minister joined Mr. Gandhi for the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra, which has spent five days in the State in two phases so far.
Mr. Yadav left for Sasaram, the district headquarters of Rohtas, on February 15 and joined Mr. Gandhi for a roadshow on a red car after spending the night there. After exchanging a warm hug, Mr. Gandhi asked Mr. Yadav to take the wheels.
The two leaders also interacted with farmers, a regular feature of the Yatra known as 'Kisan Mahapanchayat'.
While Mr. Gandhi focussed on attacking the Modi government, Mr. Yadav directed his criticism towards Nitish Kumar, the Bihar Chief Minister, who abruptly returned to the NDA and took away Mr. Yadav's power.
Shouts of "Palturam (Mr. turncoat)" came from the crowds when Mr. Yadav referred to the JD(U) president's exit from the "Mahagathbandhan", despite the "sacrifice" made by the numerically stronger RJD in accepting him as Chief Minister.
