Rahul Gandhi’s ‘Vote Adhikar yatra’ in Sasaram LIVE updates: Rahul leaves for Bihar

Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi expected to address a gathering later this evening at Ramesh Chowk, Aurangabad.

In a post in Hindi on X on August 16, 2025, Mr. Gandhi had said, “16 days, 20+ districts, 1,300+ km. We are coming among the people with the Voter Adhikar Yatra. This is a fight to protect the most basic democratic right - ‘one person, one vote’.” “Join us in Bihar to save the Constitution,” he added.

The ‘yatra’ will be in a hybrid mode, on foot and by vehicle, as was Mr. Gandhi’s Manipur to Mumbai Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra ahead of the Lok Sabha polls, party leaders said. -- PTI

Alluding to Bollywood movies, the Congress stepped up its campaign against alleged “vote theft” on Saturday (August 16, 2025) by releasing a new video titled “laapata vote” to highlight the claim.

Posting the video on X, former Congress president Rahul Gandhi said, “’Chori chori, chupke chupke’ no more, the public has woken up.” His party posted the video on its official social media account and said the “theft of your vote is theft of rights”.

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi will on Sunday (August 17, 2025) launch a yatra to highlight the alleged assault on the people’s right to vote through the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Bihar, a senior party leader said on Saturday (August 16, 2025).

Addressing a press conference in Patna, former State Congress president Akhilesh Prasad Singh said Mr. Gandhi, the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, is likely to be in the State for over a fortnight till the ‘Vote Adhikar Yatra’ concludes with a rally in Patna on September 1.
