Rahul Gandhi’s Voter Rights Yatra Nears Patna Finale as Akhilesh Backs Tejashwi in Bihar

The opposition drive challenges the Election Commission’s special roll revision with vote‑theft allegations, signaling a united pitch before Bihar’s assembly polls.

Overview

  • Akhilesh Yadav joined the march in Saran, shared the stage in Arrah and said he is confident Tejashwi Yadav will form the next government in Bihar.
  • Tejashwi Prasad Yadav declared himself the INDIA bloc’s chief ministerial face for the state during the Arrah stop of the tour.
  • Organisers say the 16‑day campaign has covered over 1,300 km across 25 districts and more than 110 constituencies, with a concluding foot march in Patna on Monday.
  • Rahul Gandhi alleged the BJP, RSS and the Election Commission are enabling “vote chori” through the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls, a charge the BJP rejects as a fake narrative and links to protecting “infiltrators.”
  • A viral Darbhanga video showing abuses directed at the prime minister drew condemnation, as Gandhi later adopted a conciliatory posture in Arrah by offering candies to black‑flag protesters.
