In a significant political development, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi expressed his support for Tejashwi Yadav, from the RJD, as the chief ministerial candidate in the upcoming Bihar elections. This endorsement was made during the Voter Adhikar Yatra, which commenced in Sasaram on Sunday.

The event saw Yadav, who is also the INDIA bloc's candidate for the chief ministerial post, driving a jeep with Gandhi as his passenger, symbolizing the backing of the Congress leader. Throughout the day, the two leaders engaged with supporters, riding atop an open vehicle, thus reinforcing their political camaraderie.

The rally's imagery was reminiscent of last year's Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra, further fueling discussions among political analysts about Gandhi's unwavering support for Yadav, despite contrary statements by NDA leaders like Chirag Paswan regarding Congress's ambitions. Yadav, unperturbed, shared his optimism for Bihar's future on social media.
