Overview

  • Speaking in Kahalgaon during the Voter Adhikar Yatra, Gandhi claimed the Special Intensive Revision is being used to remove names of those seen as backing the opposition.
  • He accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Election Commission of colluding to undermine the constitutional principle of one person, one vote.
  • Referencing Karnataka, he said Modi ignored claims of roughly one lakh fake votes in Mahadevapura and avoided addressing issues in other states.
  • He attacked the Agnipath scheme, bringing on stage a former Agniveer who lost a finger and alleging the government offers no support after short-term service.
  • RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav joined the event, urged voters to unseat Nitish Kumar, and the Congress said the 1,300-km yatra will traverse over 20 districts before a September 1 rally in Patna.
