This is the first time that Yadav has participated in a meeting regarding the Bihar election. The meeting was held at the Congress's Indira Bhawan headquarters here.

Just a few days ago, during a march against special intensive review in Patna, Pappu Yadav, along with Kanhaiya Kumar, were not allowed to board the truck carrying Mahagathbandhan leaders. Rahul Gandhi and Tejashwi Yadav were on that truck.

This was the first time Yadav met Rahul Gandhi after the incident.

Yadav said he will do everything possible to take the ideology of Rahul Gandhi to every household in Bihar.

Sources say Yadav also had separate discussions with Kharge and Rahul Gandhi.
