Singh, who started his Janata Ka Ashirvad Yatra as part of his party’s outreach programme from Gaya on Thursday, was interacting with media persons.

“Nitish Kumar is with us. And I don’t think he indulges in caste politics. He takes all castes together in his development march,” he said.

Explaining the motive behind the outreach, Singh reminded people of the Lalu-Rabri raj. “What were the conditions of roads at that time? Now power has reached every village. It will reach every field as well,” he said.
