Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha and Congress MP Rahul Gandhi has started a ‘Voter Adhikar Yatra’ in Bihar. The journey started from Sasaram, which will cover more than 20 districts by covering a distance of 1,300 km in 16 days. The yatra is being organized to preserve voter rights and to raise awareness against “vote theft”. Rahul Gandhi and other leaders of India block believe that there is dissatisfaction in the election process about disturbances and irregularities in special intensive revision. The yatra will end in Patna on 1 September.
During this, Rahul Gandhi said, “This is a fight to save the constitution. RSS and BJP are trying to destroy the constitution across India. Narendra Modi and BJP win every election. In the Lok Sabha, our alliance wins in Maharashtra, and after 4 months, the BJP wins the alliance in the same Maharashtra. When we conducted a little investigation, we came to know that after the Lok Sabha elections, the Election Commission magically made 1 crore new voters in the Lok Sabha and Vidhan Sabha. There was a difference. Wherever these new voters come, BJP wins there.
The Leader of Opposition further said, when we investigated, all records were taken out, we came to know that more than one lakh votes were stolen in one assembly in Karnataka and due to these votes, BJP won the Lok Sabha seat in Karnataka. When we said this in the press conference, the Election Commission sought an affidavit from us. Affidavit is not sought from BJP people. This is his (Election Commission) data, his figures but they are asking for an affidavit to me. We asked him for CCTV footage but refused.
In a social media post on X, Rahul Gandhi wrote, “16 days 20+ districts 1,300+ km we are coming among people with voter rights journey. On August 17, the journey will start from Sasaram, Dehri on Son, Rohtas, while on August 18, the journey will continue in Kutumba, Aurangabad, Dev and Guraru.

In a video of the film missing Ladies, the Election Commission has reiterated the Congress’ vote theft allegations and people have been urged to join the freedom campaign from vote theft.
While sharing the video on X, Rahul Gandhi wrote, “Theft, stealth-chupke … now or not, the public has woken up.” In the video, a middle -aged man is seen lodging a complaint of theft at the police station. When a policeman asks, “Is it stolen?” So the person hesitates, “Vote.” The policeman shocked and asks, “How is this possible?” The video ends with this message, “Theft of your vote is the theft of your right.” The clip is based on a scene of missing ladies where a husband goes to the police station to file a report of his wife’s exchange.
On August 7, Rahul Gandhi criticized the Election Commission of India, saying that the elections are “choreographed”. While presenting the Congress’ research on voting in Mahadevpura assembly constituency of Karnataka, he accused of theft of 1,00,250 votes. The Election Commission has repeatedly asked Rahul Gandhi to present a signed manifesto in support of its claims of “vote theft”.
