Overview

  • On Day 3, the Voter Adhikar Yatra moved from Gaya to Nawada and Nalanda in a hybrid on-foot and vehicle format, with a Patna rally scheduled for September 1 and a pause on Wednesday before resuming Thursday.
  • Nawada superintendent of police Abhinav Dhiman said a constable tripped in front of Rahul Gandhi’s convoy and was only lightly brushed, describing the injury as likely minor pending an X-ray.
  • A viral video of the episode fueled BJP claims that the constable was “crushed”; Congress figures rejected the charge, and multiple reports noted Gandhi checked on the officer and offered assistance.
  • Gandhi accused the Election Commission of working with the BJP to enable “vote chori,” citing alleged large-scale deletions in Bihar’s Special Intensive Revision and urging transparency on voter data.
  • RJD’s Tejashwi Yadav pitched Gandhi as the INDIA bloc’s future PM face, BJP leaders hit back, and the Left held a separate protest in West Bengal denouncing the revision exercise.
