NEW DELHI:  With RJD’s Tejashwi Yadav declared Mahagathbandhan chief ministerial face ahead of the Bihar Assembly polls, the Congress on Thursday asserted that the INDIA bloc is “not a one-man show” but a people’s alliance built on mutual respect, inclusive representation, and the principle of shared power.

At a joint press conference in Patna, the Mahagathbandhan on Thursday declared Yadav its chief ministerial candidate for the elections.

Senior Congress leader Ashok Gehlot, who has been camping in Patna since Wednesday to iron out differences with the RJD, said the decision had the approval of Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge and senior leader Rahul Gandhi.
