Patna (Bihar) [India], September 2 (ANI): Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) MP Manoj Jha on Tuesday said the recently concluded Voter Adhikar Yatra was not just a campaign, but that its message reached every corner of Bihar, with the slogan "Vote chor, gaddi chhodd" echoing everywhere.
Speaking to ANI, Jha highlighted the significance of voter rights and transparent electoral processes in the state.
"This is not just the yatra of Rahul Gandhi, Tejashwi Yadav, the message has reached every nook and corner and the slogan 'Vote chor, gaddi chhodd' is echoing everywhere. A person votes for employment, better health facilities and if this process becomes suspicious, then the efforts for bringing a change also go in vain..." he said.
The 16-day yatra, led by Congress MP and Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi, aimed to highlight alleged 'vote chori' (vote theft) by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and alleged irregularities in the voter list by the Election Commission of India (ECI). The yatra concluded in Patna on Monday.
The campaign began on August 17, with Rahul Gandhi and Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav conducting the yatra together from Sasaram. From there, the rally spanned across 25 districts, to Aurangabad, Gayaji, Siwan, and others.
On the concluding day, Trinamool Congress (TMC) leaders Yusuf Pathan and Lalitesh Pati Tripathi, Shiv Sena UBT MP Sanjay Raut, also joined the Rahul Gandhi-led Voter Adhikar Yatra on its concluding day in Patna.
Several other INDIA bloc leaders also participated at various points.
Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav, CPI(ML) General Secretary Dipankar Bhattacharya, Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi, and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin have joined the rally.
Chief Ministers of various states, including Karnataka's Siddharamaiah, Himachal Pradesh's Sukhvinder Sukhu, and Telangana's Revanth Reddy, participated in the yatra. (ANI)
