The rally is scheduled to take place in Patna on November 4. The entire city has been decorated with big photos and hoardings. Though chief minister Nitish Kumar appears prominently in almost all of them, the party’s national president, Sharad Yadav, figure nowhere in them.

Though some Janata Dal (United) leaders concede that it is wrong on the part of the party to project just only person the official position is that it was the over-zealous party workers who have got the posters and hoardings of the chief minister installed and that the party as such has nothing to do with it.

But there is hardly any taker of this plea as no worker can dare to get all these photos installed without the permission from the party leadership.
