In a virtual show of support for the INDIA bloc ahead of the Lok Sabha Polls, Congress leader Congress Rahul Gandhi, and AICC president Mallikarjun Kharge arrived in Bihar to attend the ‘Jan Vishwas Rally.’ The INDIA bloc leaders were seen engaging in conversations on the stage.
The rally, which has been organised by the RJD, is being attended by top INDIA leaders including its national president Lalu Prasad, and his son and heir apparent Tejashwi Yadav.
While speaking at the rally, former Deputy CM Tejashwi Yadav said that his party is for people from backward and minority communities.
“Some people say ours is a party of MY-Muslim and Yadav. I want to say our party is of MY and BAAP-B for Bahujan, A for agda, A for aadhi aabadi (women), and P for poor,” said Yadav.
INDIA Bloc Leaders To Attend the Jan Vishwas Rally
Apart from Kharge and Gandhi, CPI(M) general secretary Sitaram Yechury and CPI general secretary D Raja also participated in the rally in Bihar. Samajwadi Party president and former Uttar Pradesh chief minister Akhilesh Yadav has also reached the venue.
The ‘Jan Vishwas Rally’ is being seen as a culmination of ‘Jan Vishwas Yatra’, a state-wide tour undertaken by Tejashwi Yadav, who lost his job as the deputy chief minister and embarked upon a drive to galvanise the public in favour of his commitment to job creation.
“Naukri matlab Tejashwi (Tejashwi means jobs)” is one of the slogans that reverberated across the venue of the rally.
The historic Gandhi Maidan, a sprawling public ground situated in the heart of the city, is choc a bloc with supporters of the ‘Mahagathbandhan’, a coalition comprising Congress, RJD and Left parties, which was sharing power in the state until the abrupt exit of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, who heads the JD(U), recently.
