"Choro ko hataiye, BJP ko bhagaiye, aur hume jitaiye, (Remove the thieves, make the BJP run away, help us win)," Lalu Yadav said during the 'Voter Adhikar Yatra' in Bihar's Sasaram.

He urged Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Mallikarjun Kharge to stand united with the RJD, along with his son Tejashwi Yadav, to "uproot the BJP and throw them away".

"At any cost, do not let the BJP, which is a thief, come to power. Everyone, stand united, and together, Rahul Gandhi, Tejashwi Yadav, uproot them and throw them away. Save democracy," the RJD chief asserted.

The Congress is currently holding a 16-day 'Voter Adhikar Yatra', protesting against the alleged vote chori that the Opposition parties have accused the Election Commission of India (ECI) and the BJP of perpetrating. The yatra began from Bihar's Sasaram on Sunday, with several leaders, including Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, Pawan Khera, Kanhaiya Kumar and others participating.
