Overview

  • On August 22, the yatra reached Bhagalpur’s Nathnagar with a large turnout as Rahul Gandhi accused the Election Commission, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP of disenfranchising voters.
  • Congress announced that Priyanka Gandhi Vadra will join on August 26–27, M.K. Stalin on August 27, Siddaramaiah on August 29 and Akhilesh Yadav on August 30, with Hemant Soren, A. Revanth Reddy and Sukhvinder Sukhu expected on dates to be confirmed.
  • The march is proceeding on August 23 via Katihar to Purnea, part of a 16‑day hybrid route across 23 districts covering about 1,300 km that culminates in a Patna rally on September 1.
  • Opposition leaders are citing alleged roll irregularities, including the case of BJP functionary Bhikhubhai Dalsania appearing on Bihar voter lists despite being registered and having voted in Gujarat.
  • Rahul Gandhi is also using personal testimonies to broaden the campaign’s appeal, introducing former Agniveer Amarnath Jaiswal to question the scheme’s treatment of injured recruits.
