Senior Congress leader and Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi on Sunday (August 17, 2025) began his 16-day-long 'Voter Adhikar Yatra' from Sasaram in poll-bound Bihar.

The Yatra will cover 1,300 kilometres and will conclude with a mega rally in Patna on September 1, where leaders of various INDIA parties would attend.

Sharing details of his Yatra in a post on X, Mr. Gandhi said, “16 days. 20+ districts. 1,300+ km. We are coming among the people with the Voter Rights Yatra.”

“This is the fight to protect the most fundamental democratic right — ‘one person, one vote.’ Join us in Bihar to save the Constitution,” Mr. Gandhi added.

Party spokesperson Pawan Khera told reporters that this Yatra will be yet another milestone in the democratic history of India.

“Whenever Rahul Gandhi has embarked upon such a march, democracy has turned a new page,” he said, adding that “The Yatra will be a historic journey, which will prove to be a milestone in the fight for the existence of all of us.”

Giving details, he said, besides Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav, other partners of the INDIA bloc will also be part of the Yatra.

Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge said “BJP and RSS are dangerous for poor people, women and youths. BJP is troubling us everywhere, be it in textbooks or universities. The governors have become 'Chamcha' of the government.”

Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge said “People should help us to protect the constitution. Baba Saheb Ambedkar's constitution allows everyone to cast their votes.”

The Congress chief said “Congress is the party which gives equal rights to everyone. We are fighting to save your votes.”
