Overview

  • The 1,300 km, multi-district yatra ended with a road show and rally in Patna led by Rahul Gandhi and Tejashwi Yadav after 14–16 days on the road.
  • Patna Police halted the ‘Gandhi se Ambedkar’ procession at the Dak Bungalow crossing, citing a restricted zone, and leaders addressed supporters at the spot.
  • Rahul Gandhi promised to soon release new evidence of alleged vote theft, while Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of trying to win Bihar through ‘vote chori’ and targeted Chief Minister Nitish Kumar.
  • BJP leaders dismissed the charges and rhetoric, with Ravi Shankar Prasad calling Gandhi irresponsible and spokesperson C.R. Kesavan terming the campaign toxic.
  • A man was arrested over an abusive Darbhanga video linked to the yatra, and on Tuesday Modi said the incident caused him deep pain as Nitish Kumar condemned it and the event organiser apologised.
