• Congress says Priyanka Gandhi will join the march in Supaul and Madhubani on Tuesday before events in Darbhanga and Muzaffarpur on Wednesday, with M.K. Stalin due Wednesday, Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah on Friday, and Akhilesh Yadav set for August 30.
• From Katihar, Rahul Gandhi alleged large‑scale disenfranchisement under the Special Intensive Revision and urged supporters to block voter deletions, framing the exercise as an organised attempt at ‘vote theft’.
• Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge attacked the Centre’s bill that would vacate the offices of a PM, CM or minister after 30 days of continuous arrest, noting it was introduced in Lok Sabha by Amit Shah and sent to a Joint Parliamentary Committee after opposition protests.

Shivakumar dismissed viral photos from the yatra as misleading and said BJP‑linked accounts were deflecting from voter‑roll concerns, while Prashant Kishor said his Jan Suraj will contest all 243 seats with mostly first‑time candidates and accused authorities of cutting names via SIR.
