A day earlier, launching a scathing attack on RJD and Congress, Union Minister Giriraj Singh asserted that Congress leader Rahul Gandhi is not backing RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav’s name for the post of Chief Minister here in Bihar.
Speaking to ANI, Union Minister said, “Rahul Gandhi, who himself is a ‘Pappu’, made Tejashwi Yadav a ‘Super Pappu’. Lalu Yadav’s dream of making his son the Chief Minister has been shattered by Rahul Gandhi. Tejashwi Yadav is hell bent on making Rahul Gandhi Prime Minister by doing chamchagiri, but Rahul Gandhi did not even name him once (for the CM position).”
Bihar elections are expected to be held in October or November; however, the Election Commission of India (ECI) has not announced an official date.
