Lalu Prasad Yadav hosted a massive anti-BJP rally in Patna on Sunday, with the rally cry ‘BJP Bhagao, Desh Bachao’. Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and rebel JD(U) leader Sharad Yadav were present at the rally.

Despite warnings from JD(U), rebel leader Sharad Yadav joined Lalu on stage while former Deputy CM of Bihar Tejashwi Yadav made jibes at Bihar CM Nitish Kumar’s recent U-turn and dissolution of the Grand Alliance.

Congress president Sonia Gandhi couldn’t make it to the rally, but reached out to the audience through an audio message, which was played at the rally.
