This is the first time the two leaders came together after their government ceased to exist after Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar dumped them to join Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA).
Nitish, who was one of the architects of the opposition bloc INDIA, dumped the RJD-Congress alliance and returned to the NDA in another political somersault.
Meanwhile, Rahuls yatra will cover over 6,000 kilometers across 15 states from Manipur to Maharashtra.
