New Delhi : Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav rode a bullet bike during their Bihar Yatra on Sunday. Gandhi, the Leader of the Opposition in Lok Sabha, and Yadav were seen riding motorcycles as the yatra entered Araria, with people lining the streets to see the two leaders.
The 1,300-km yatra was launched on August 17 from Sasaram. It will cover more than 20 districts over a period of 16 days, and conclude with a rally in Patna on September 1. The former Congress chief and the RJD leader will address a joint press conference in Araria later in the day, along with other leaders of the INDIA bloc, as reported by the news agency PTI. Sacked RJD MLA Tej Pratap Yadav openly criticised his younger brother Tejashwi Yadav and Rahul Gandhi, questioning their connections with ordinary people.
Tej Pratap said, “During elections, everyone is busy rolling out their own bread and preparing their own way. Tejashwi and Rahul are carrying out their yatra, but we want to walk on the small village pathways. Tej Pratap further added, “We want to become leaders who are connected to the ground. The people of Bihar already know who the real second Lalu is. We are grassroots leaders. We do not fly in helicopters. These leaders are travelling in air-conditioned cars. Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Chaudhary also tore into the two leaders, ridiculing their dynastic politics.
