Patna, August 7: Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) workers on Sunday held a 'Pratirodh' march in Patna over the issue of inflation and unemployment. The march, from Patna's Saguna more to JP Golambar located at Gandhi Maidan, is being led by the party leader and Leader of Opposition in Bihar Assembly Tejashwi Yadav.

"We are conducting this march over the subjects of public interests and this march is a message to the Centre that the government's policies and politics are wrong," said Tejashwi Yadav.

Yadav alleged that all the constitutional institutions of the country are working as puppets of the government. India's Outbound Tourism To Surpass USD 42 Billion by 2024: Report.

"The whole country is sick of corruption, inflation and unemployment. They (the BJP govt) have been playing with constitutional institutions. The farmers here in Bihar are fed up with floods and droughts, but the government is looking away from these issues," said Tejashwi Yadav during the 'Pratirodh' march.
