Stepping up his consistent attack on the Election Commission Of India, Rahul Gandhi will embark on a ‘Voter Adhikar Yatra’ across Bihar from Sasaram August 17 , with his party asserting it will fight for the ‘one person, one vote’ principle and not accept the Election Commission becoming a “compartment” of the Bharatiya Janata Party’s “so-called double engine”.
The leader of the opposition in the Lok Sabha, along with Rashtriya Janata Dal’s Tejashwi Yadav and other Mahagathbandhan leaders, will undertake the 16-day and 1,300 km-long yatra from Sasaram, which will conclude with a rally in Patna on September 1.
In a post in Hindi on X, Gandhi said, “16 days, 20+ districts, 1,300+ km. We are coming among the people with the Voter Adhikar Yatra. This is a fight to protect the most basic democratic right – ‘one person, one vote’.”
“Join us in Bihar to save the Constitution,” he added.
Addressing a press conference at the Indira Bhawan in New Delhi as reported by PTI , Congress’ media and publicity department head, Pawan Khera, said, “Whenever Rahul Gandhi ji has set out for a yatra, the democracy of this country has turned a page. ‘Voter Adhikar Yatra’ will be a historic march. It will prove to be a milestone in the history of our democracy.
