Overview

• Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy joined Rahul Gandhi and Tejashwi Yadav in Supaul on day 10 of the Voter Adhikar Yatra, drawing large crowds from an open-roof SUV procession.
• At a rally in Madhubani, Rahul Gandhi alleged the BJP and the Election Commission engaged in 'vote chori', citing claimed deletions of 65 lakh names from Bihar’s rolls and asserting, without proof, that a similar number would be added to benefit the BJP.
• Priyanka Gandhi accused the BJP–JD(U) of trying to retain power by stealing votes, urging voters to guard their franchise and asserting that the rights of poor and deprived citizens are being stripped.
• The Hindu reported that the Supreme Court directed the Election Commission of India to publish the names of roughly 65 lakh excluded electors and provide an opportunity for their inclusion.
• The 16-day, 1,300-km yatra resumed after a one-day pause and is set to culminate with a September 1 rally in Patna, while BJP and JD(U) leaders dismiss the drive as a politically motivated stunt.
