PATNA: Bihar Pradesh Congress Committee chief Sadanand Singh on Friday claimed that his party's national president Sonia Gandhi and youth leader Rahul Gandhi paved the way for  the exit of the 'goonda and jungle' rule of Mulayam Singh Yadav in the assembly elections.

''Intensive campaign undertaken by Sonia and Rahul ensured the SP government, led by Mulayam Singh Yadav, bowing out of office,'' Singh said.
