Patna:
The Grand Alliance might have stolen a march on the NDA by bringing out its manifesto first, but the presentation of the images of Tejashwi Yadav and Rahul Gandhi is expected to invite some barbs. The BJP had not passed up the chance to take digs at the opposition alliance when the Chief Ministerial candidate was announced, because of the absence of Rahul Gandhi from the opposition posters.
This time, it is Tejashwi Yadav whose image has been played up on the cover of the manifesto. Rahul Gandhi’s thumbnail image adorns its left corner.
The last time Rahul Gandhi’s image was missing, the BJP had taken a swipe, saying Yadav’s Rashtriya Janata Dal has shown the Congress its place.
“Joint PC? But only one picture. Rahul Gandhi & Congress ka ‘samman chori’. Showed Congress & Rahul his place?” BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla had posted on social media platform X, formerly Twitter.
