Bihar’s leader of opposition and former deputy chief minister Tejashwi Yadav has been relentless in his attack against Nitish Kumar since the Bihar chief minister switched allegiance to Bharatiya Janata Party. He has been travelling across the state explaining how the mandate of Bihar has been disrespected.

His father and RJD Supremo Lalu Prasad has announced ‘BJP Bhagao, Desh Bachao’ rally at Gandhi Maidan on August 27 where a galaxy of leaders from anti-BJP parties are expected to be present. The rally is said to be an attempt to forge unity among opposition parties at the national level to take on the BJP-led NDA in the 2019 Lok Sabha poll.
