New Delhi, October 23 (IANS) BJP national spokesperson Ajay Alok on Thursday launched a scathing attack on the grand alliance’s press conference, saying the two ‘crown princes’ of the opposition alliance – Lok Sabha leader Rahul Gandhi and RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav – will hold a ‘camera meeting’.
As the grand alliance prepares to hold an important press conference on Thursday, speculation is rife that Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav’s long-standing wish of being declared the chief ministerial face of the alliance may finally be fulfilled.
The BJP spokesperson mocked the leaders, saying that even after being “out on bail” both Gandhi and Yadav are still talking about the development of Bihar.

He further said, “It seems everyone is under the ‘Colombia effect’. The party which takes money from China will now sit with Rajkumar, accused in the land-for-jobs scam. Both are on bail and will talk about the development of Bihar – very nice! What a grand alliance this is! Just announce Rs 30,000 for Jeevika Didis too.”
“Also announce that if you come to power after 20 days, jobs will be created through kidnapping, murder, sand robbery and liquor trade. Keep it up Munna Bhai!” Alok added.
The development follows a meeting between Tejashwi Yadav, senior Congress leader Ashok Gehlot and the party’s Bihar in-charge Krishna Allavaru, who met Tejashwi and RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav in Patna on Wednesday.
The backdrop of Thursday’s press event at Patna’s Maurya Hotel has further fueled the speculation – the banner of the press conference prominently displayed the election symbols of all the grand alliance partners, but only a large photograph of Tejashwi Yadav.
A hashtag ‘Bihar Mage Tejashwi Sarkar’ is also displayed on the banner.
This will also be the first joint press conference of the Grand Alliance after the announcement of election dates.
The last time the Grand Alliance leaders shared the stage was during the launch of the ‘Extremely Backward EBC Sankalp Patra’ in Patna on September 24, in which Congress national president Mallikarjun Kharge, Lok Sabha leader Rahul Gandhi, Tejashwi Yadav and Vikassheel Insaan Party chief Mukesh Sahni were present.
