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.
