Aims to increase political visibility before elections

State Congress president Rajesh Kumar Ram led a massive march in Patna to demonstrate the party's commitment to constitutional values and to assert its presence within the Mahagathbandhan alliance.

The march began at the Congress headquarters, Sadaqat Ashram, and proceeded along Ashok Rajpath to Bas Ghat, drawing participation from a large number of Congress leaders and workers.

"Our goal is to save the Constitution and stop those trying to violate it," said Rajesh Kumar Ram.

Echoing the sentiment, Madan Mohan Jha, Congress Legislative Council leader in Bihar, added: "The idea behind this march is to connect with the people of Bihar and spread awareness about constitutional values."

Participants in the march carried a large Tricolour, Congress flags and chanted slogans in support of the Constitution.

The BJP was the main target of criticism during the event, particularly on issues such as the Waqf Act.

Political observers see this march not only as a public mobilisation effort but also as a strategic signal within the Mahagathbandhan alliance, possibly aimed at increasing the Congress' bargaining power for a greater share of seats in the upcoming elections.

It is also being seen as a subtle message to RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav, the alliance's main face. The Congress top leadership has not announced RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav's name as the Chief Minister face for the Bihar Assembly election.

Leaders like Krishna Allavaru, the state in charge of the Congress, have already announced that the CM's face will be decided after the poll outcome.

This is part of a broader campaign strategy by Congress, following party leader Kanhaiya Kumar's earlier participation in the "Palayan Roko, Naukri Do Yatra", which drew crowds across Bihar and focused on unemployment and youth migration.

Finally some focus on constitutional values! The way certain rights are being eroded these days is worrying. Hope this march creates real awareness among people 🙏

While I appreciate the sentiment, this feels more like political posturing than genuine concern. Congress should focus more on concrete policies rather than symbolic marches.

The timing is so obvious though - right before elections! Where was this energy for the past 5 years? 🤔 Still, better late than never I guess.

As someone who attended the march, I can say the energy was amazing! People from all communities came together. The Constitution belongs to all of us, not just politicians. Jai Hind! 🇮🇳

Interesting how they're not naming Tejashwi as CM face. Smart move by Congress - shows they're not just going to play second fiddle to RJD this time.

The unemployment yatra earlier and now this - Congress seems to be making some good moves in Bihar. But will it translate to votes? That's the real question.
