RJD's cycle march to protest fuel price hike

RJD leaders Tejashwi Yadav and Tej Pratap Yadav led a cycle rally in Patna to protest against the hike in fuel prices. However, even though Tejashwi Yadav was wearing a mask, social distancing norms were violated which have put everyone attending such rallies at a risk. This begs the question, can a leader be allowed to jeopardise the health and safety of his followers just to make a political statement ahead of elections?
