Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav on Friday expressed confidence in winning the Bihar Assembly Election, saying that the upcoming elections would be the last for Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar. Yadav, along with Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition and Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, participated in the ‘Voter Adhikar Rally’ held in Bhagalpur.
While addressing a rally, the RJD leader said, “This will be the last election of the Bihar CM Nitish Kumar. He will not become the Chief Minister of Bihar again…Do you want an original CM or a duplicate?… We all need to be united and vote for change.”
Rahul Gandhi, in a post on social media platform X, said that the ‘Voter Adhikar Rally’ had awakened the people and that the current government was formed by “theft,” not by a public mandate.
“Look at the vote-thief government – This is anger against unemployment and inflation. This indignation is against two decades of poverty and migration. This revolution is against the theft of voting rights. This is a people’s movement – the people have awakened and understood that a government formed by theft is not the people’s government,” the post read.
The 16-day yatra seeks to highlight alleged discrepancies in the voter list, which opposition leaders have described as a case of vote chori (vote theft). Spanning more than 1,300 km across 20 districts, it is set to culminate in Patna on September 1.
The Voter Adhikar Yatra is the latest effort by the opposition to highlight concerns over voter disenfranchisement and electoral transparency in the lead-up to the 2025 Bihar Legislative Assembly elections.
