As one of the leaders of the opposition in Bihar, Rabri Devi has kept a low profile. For the upcoming elections, her husband Lalu Prasad Yadav was going to be the face of the party while also pitching his two sons as potential leaders.

After going to meet him in prison, a journalist asked her how she felt. She retorted asking what the news channel planned to do with the details of her meeting.
