Overview

  • At an Araria press briefing on day eight of the Voter Adhikar Yatra, Tejashwi Yadav advised LJP (RV) chief Chirag Paswan to get married and said some are Hanuman of a special person while claiming he is Hanuman of the public.
  • Rahul Gandhi joked that the marriage advice applies to him too, nodding to Lalu Prasad Yadav’s past matchmaking push.
  • Rahul accused the Election Commission’s Special Intensive Revision in Bihar of enabling institutionalised vote theft, alleging lakhs of names were deleted in collusion with the BJP.
  • The Voter Adhikar Yatra began on August 17 from Sasaram, aims to cover about 1,300 km across 20 districts, and is scheduled to conclude in Patna on September 1.
  • Chirag Paswan has previously called himself Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Hanuman, a claim Tejashwi referenced while responding to Paswan’s recent swipe that Tejashwi had become a hanger-on of Rahul Gandhi.
