In Bihar, Youth Congress workers staged a march towards the Chief Minister's residence to protest alleged electoral malpractice and a controversial allotment of land to a prominent business entity at minimal cost.
The rally, spearheaded by Youth Congress national president Uday Bhanu Chib, commenced at Sadaqat Ashram, but was obstructed near Raja Pul, about a kilometer away from the Chief Minister's residence.
Police erected barricades to deny access to the restricted area, detaining several protesters. Chib and others demonstratively lay on the road, chanting anti-government slogans made famous by opposition leader Rahul Gandhi. Authorities eventually detained Chib and transported him away from the scene.
