Congress leaders were upset over the omission. тАЬThis was not good for unity,тАЭ said a leader of the Congress, which is part of the ruling alliance. It was an insult to Congress. тАЬIf you talk about Congress, you cannot ignore its leader and future Prime Minister of India Rahul Gandhi.тАЭ

Congress leader Ranjan Singh said the objective of dislodging the Bharatiya Janata Party from power at the Centre will be impossible without Congress. тАЬThe hoardings should have promptly given space to Rahul Gandhi along with [chief minister] Nitish Kumar and Lalu Prasad Yadav and we have taken it seriously,тАЭ

Congress leaders insisted there were no dissensions within the alliance but urged alliance partners Rashtriya Janata Dal and Janata Dal (United) to be more careful. тАЬThis may be a petty issue but this sends a message to the public,тАЭ said Congress leader Jaivardhan Singh.
