"This is the yatra of the entire Mahagathbandhan. It is a collective fight to secure people's rights - Tejashwi Yadav"

Patna, Aug 30

Saturday turned into a politically-charged day in Bihar as Congress MP and Leader of Opposition (LoP) in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi’s 'Voter Adhikar Yatra' entered Saran district on its 14th day. The event drew massive crowds, enthusiastic slogans, and a festive welcome that transformed the yatra into a show of strength for the Opposition.

As the convoy crossed the Chainwa toll plaza, the air filled with slogans of “Rahul Gandhi Zindabad” and “Tejashwi Yadav Zindabad.”

The 'Voter Adhikar Yatra' route was decorated like a wedding procession, with flowers, garlands, and bands playing at several points.

Local leaders and supporters gave LoP Rahul Gandhi and RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav a rousing welcome to their area.

Adding to the momentum, Samajwadi Party chief and former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav joined the march in solidarity with the Opposition alliance.

The enthusiasm was palpable from early morning. By 7 A.M., thousands had gathered from border villages and nearby towns, lining the route through Rasulpur, Ekma, Mane Dhala, and Manjhi constituency.

At Beldari turn, a sea of people awaited the leaders, greeting them with drums and chants.

The 'Voter Adhikar Yatra' saw the participation of senior Congress and RJD leaders, as well as several MLAs and dignitaries. Notably, a large turnout of youth and women in Saran underlined the rising energy around the campaign.

Addressing workers, Tejashwi Yadav stressed that the 'Voter Adhikar Yatra' was not limited to the Congress.

“This is the yatra of the entire Mahagathbandhan. It is a collective fight to secure people’s rights,” he said.

LoP Rahul Gandhi, echoing the sentiment, declared that the campaign was aimed at protecting democracy.

“This yatra is not just a march, it is a battle to safeguard the rights of the people and the future of our democracy,” LoP Gandhi told the gathering.

The overwhelming reception in Saran has sent a strong political signal ahead of the upcoming Assembly elections in Bihar.

For many, the mood resembled a victory procession, reflecting the determination of the Mahagathbandhan cadre to challenge the NDA government.

The massive turnout shows people's frustration with current government. When youth and women come out in such numbers, it sends a clear message. Democracy needs strong opposition to function properly.

While I support the cause of voter rights, I hope this isn't just another political drama before elections. We've seen many yatras that didn't translate into actual governance. Actions speak louder than processions.

Tejashwi and Rahul together in Bihar! This is the kind of opposition unity we need across India. The energy reminds me of old Congress rallies but with fresh leadership. Hope they deliver on their promises 🤞

Good to see Akhilesh Yadav joining too! SP-RJD-Congress alliance could be game-changer in North India. But they need to focus on concrete issues like employment, farmers' problems, and education rather than just symbolism.

As a woman from Bihar, I appreciate seeing women participating actively in political movements. Our voices matter and it's heartening to see leaders acknowledging that. Hope this translates into better policies for women's safety and empowerment 💪
