Rahul Gandhi campaigns in poll-bound Jharkhand

Bermo (Jharkhand), Dec 4(ANI): Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi did hectic campaigning in Jharkhand on Friday, where he was canvassing for his party's candidates, ahead of the third stage of the state's five-phased elections to the state's legislature.
