Voting rights march: The India alliance is going to start “Vote Rights Yatra” from 17 August, which will start from Sasaram Railway Stadium in Rohtas and end on 1 September at Gandhi Maidan in Patna. In this visit, Rahul Gandhi, Tejashwi Yadav and other big leaders of the Grand Alliance will communicate directly with the people in 23 districts of Bihar. The main objective of the yatra is to make the public aware of the irregularities of the Election Commission and the special summer revision (SIR) process.
Tejashwi Yadav tightens Chief Minister Nitish Kumar
Tejashwi Yadav lashed out at Chief Minister Nitish Kumar after the announcement of “Vote Rights Yatra”. He wrote on X, “Though the thief Idea steals, where will the vision be brought from?” Tejashwi also alleged that the government is copying their announcements before the election, and this time the “copycat government” will go, while the “youth government” will come.
The thief idea may steal but where will the vision be brought from?
If the election comes, you are looking at the announcement, many are happening? Our all ideas have started stealing tired people after 2005.
See …. This time the scammer will copy the government, the youth government will come. #TEJASHWIYADAV #India #Bihar, pic.twitter.com/gbkf0g6tw8
