RJD cycle rally on fuel price hike

The Rashtriya Janata Dal, Bihar’s principal Opposition party, celebrated its 24th foundation day by taking out a 5km bicycle rally in the state capital on Sunday to protest rising fuel prices and inflation.

RJD leader Tejashwi Prasad Yadav, who led the rally, slammed the BJP for putting the common man in trouble and asked the Centre to roll back the recent hikes in petrol and diesel prices. He said the people of Bihar were missing party president Lalu Prasad in these dire times.

Tejashwi and his elder brother Tej Pratap Yadav led the bicycle rally from the 10, Circular Road residence of their mother and former chief minister Rabri Devi with several party legislators and leaders pedalling along to the RJD headquarters in central Patna.
