RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav Tuesday clarified Congress was as an "old ally" and a major political party with nationwide presence, rubbishing claims that he had snubbed his coalition partner by coming out in support of the SP-BSP alliance in neighbouring Uttar Pradesh.

The RJD heir apparent also remarked that during his Lucknow visit on Monday, "the media there kept prying as to whether I had come to UP holding a brief for the Congress".
