Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav on Monday sought to dispel misgivings arising out of his boss Nitish Kumar's absence in the RJD campaigns for the upcoming by-polls to two seats.

The RJD heir apparent asserted that the chief minister was staying away from campaigns because of an injury though the latter's JD(U) was helping the RJD in the by-elections to Mokama and Gopalganj assembly seats.
