After a major boost for a united opposition in the Lok Sabha and Assembly bypolls last month, RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav on Thursday met Congress President Rahul Gandhi and discussed forging of a “grand alliance” ahead of the 2019 general elections to defeat the BJP. Tejashwi said that he along with other opposition leaders are committed to take the nation out of a climate of fear generated by the “right-wing authoritarian regime”. According to Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) sources, Tejashwi met Gandhi at the latter’s residence here.
“We are here not to form governments but to transform the lives of the downtrodden against the wishes of the current right-wing authoritarian regime. Our togetherness is aimed at protecting the Constitution, secular and democratic values and goals of social justice. We shall fight, we shall win,” Yadav tweeted along with a picture with Gandhi.
