The BJP on Thursday mocked the Congress after its leader Rahul Gandhi was notably missing from the Mahagathbandhan's press conference poster, which prominently featured Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav. Scheduled at 11 am at Hotel Maurya in Patna, the poster showed Tejashwi at the centre, with smaller images of other alliance partners, but no trace of Rahul Gandhi.

BJP leader Shehzad Poonawalla ridiculed the omission, saying, "Until yesterday, the announcements were that Rahul Gandhi is the face, but now I think there is no respect left for the Congress party at all. Look at the coalition of these parties, no mission, no vision, only confusion, only division, and only ambition for position. There is no decision yet to finalise the candidates."
