"The dream Narendra Modi government showing to the nation about bringing back black money into the country will never be fullfilled...The government will not be able to bring even a rabbit into the country from outside," Yadav told reporters.

Yadav came here to discuss about senior party leader Nitish Kumar "Samparak yatra" from November 13.
On a question on reports of growing differences between Nitish Kumar and his handpicked Chief Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi, the JD(U) chief sought to play it down by saying "I not aware of anything of this sort.
