Patna: Though Congress had allied with the RJD for the Lok Sabha elections, there was still no clarity whether Rahul Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi who would campaign next week in Bihar would share the dais with Lalu Prasad.
While Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi would be in Aurangabad on April one to seek votes for former Kerala governor Nikhil Kumar, the party chairperson Sonia Gandhi would address a rally in support of Lok Sabha Speaker Meira Kumar at Sasaram on April three.
“As per our information, BPCC president Ashok Kumar Chaudhary and candidates will be present on the dais during the rallies of Soniaji and Rahulji. AICC General Secretary and Bihar in-charge C P Joshi may also be present,” state Congress vice president and media in-charge Prem Chand Mishra told PTI here. Asked about the possibility of the RJD president who was barred from contesting polls following conviction in a fodder scam case sharing dais with the Congress president and vice president, Mishra appeared evasive.
“We have no information about these programmes,” Prasad said. RJD spokesperson Mritunjay Tiwary said, “There is no request by the Congress for joint campaigning.” (PTI)
