Congress leader Rahul Gandhi launched a 1,300 km 'Voter Adhikar Yatra' in Bihar, claiming that the Election Commission is conspiring with the BJP to 'steal' elections in the state. He described the campaign as a battle to preserve democratic rights, accusing the central government of eroding constitutional values.
Addressing the launch event, attended by key opposition leaders, Gandhi emphasized the power of the vote, criticizing alleged manipulations in electoral rolls. He asserted that while Congress is being pressured for evidence, similar demands are not made on BJP, exposing a bias in election oversight.
The yatra, covering over 20 districts in Bihar, is both a foot march and a vehicle ride, echoing past opposition movements. Gandhi pledged that the INDIA bloc would prevent any election 'theft,' as the campaign rallies support against perceived electoral injustice.
