Asked about RJD, which is presenting itself as big brother in Mahagathbandhan and strongest of all the allies in Bihar, Kapoor said, “All parties are strong but Congress will emerge as the strongest of them all.”
Interestingly, Kapoor refrained from naming RJD leader Tejashwi Prasad Yadav as the alliance’s chief ministerial candidate. “These things are decided by the Congress’s high command,” he said.
