Overview

  • Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and Telangana chief minister A. Revanth Reddy joined Rahul Gandhi and RJD’s Tejashwi Yadav in Supaul, greeting crowds from an open-roof SUV as the yatra resumed after a one-day break.
  • Organisers say the 16-day, 1,300-km march is on day 10 and will move through Madhubani and Darbhanga, with a concluding rally scheduled in Patna on September 1.
  • Priyanka Gandhi accused the BJP–JD(U) government of trying to steal votes, reinforcing Rahul Gandhi’s charge that the special intensive revision of rolls is designed to benefit the BJP.
  • BJP and JD(U) leaders dismissed the mobilisation as a flop and a political stunt, arguing it would not influence voters.
  • The dispute has reached the Supreme Court, which directed the Election Commission to publish the names of 65 lakh deleted electors and give them a chance to re-enrol.
