Priyanka Gandhi to Join Rahul Gandhi’s Voter Adhikar Yatra in Bihar: A United Push for Electoral Rights
New Delhi: The Congress party’s nationwide campaign for voter rights is set to gain greater momentum as Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra will join her brother, Lok Sabha Leader.
The announcement has sparked excitement among party workers, as Priyanka’s presence is often seen as an energizing force, especially for grassroots supporters. This marks one of her most significant political interventions in Bihar, a state where the Congress is striving to rebuild its base as part of the larger INDIA bloc coalition.
The Yatra itself is a state-wide campaign organized under the INDIA alliance banner. Its primary focus is to raise awareness about electoral rights while bringing attention to alleged instances of voter suppression and manipulation. By highlighting these issues, opposition leaders aim to challenge the ruling NDA and prepare the ground for a serious contest ahead of the 2025 Bihar Assembly elections.
Rahul Gandhi, who has been spearheading the campaign across different districts of Bihar, will begin Tuesday’s Yatra at 8:00 a.m. from Hussain Chowk in Supaul city. His convoy will pass through key points of the town, including Mahavir Chowk, Gandhi Maidan, and Lohia Nagar Chowk, before concluding at Degree College Chowk. The route has been carefully chosen to maximize public engagement, with the expectation that large crowds will gather along the way to listen to his message.
The Congress leader’s speeches during the Yatra have consistently emphasized the need to defend democracy, protect the Constitution, and ensure that every citizen’s vote truly counts. For Rahul, this is more than just a political exercise; he frames it as a moral responsibility to safeguard democratic rights that are increasingly under threat. His insistence on connecting directly with ordinary people, rather than confining politics to speeches in Parliament or rallies in big cities, is central to the Yatra’s design.
Known for her ability to connect emotionally with people, especially women and younger supporters, she is expected to complement Rahul’s style with her own grassroots appeal. For Congress workers in Bihar, her participation is seen as a morale booster, one that could inspire greater participation and enthusiasm in the days ahead.
The campaign will also witness the participation of other key opposition leaders. Tejashwi Yadav, the Leader of the Opposition in the Bihar Assembly and the face of the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), will join the Supaul leg of the Yatra. His presence underscores the RJD’s commitment to the INDIA bloc’s united fight against the NDA. Mukesh Sahni, chief of the Vikassheel Insaan Party (VIP), will also walk alongside Rahul and Priyanka Gandhi, further strengthening the message of opposition solidarity.
Local leaders have been mobilizing extensively, arranging buses, and coordinating efforts to ensure that people can join the procession without difficulty.
The Congress has also confirmed Priyanka Gandhi’s two-day schedule in Bihar. K.C. The following day, she will travel to Sitamarhi, where she is expected to offer prayers at the historic Janaki Temple—a move that blends cultural outreach with political symbolism.
For Congress, the Voter Adhikar Yatra is being branded as nothing less than a “battle to protect electoral rights.” Leaders describe it as an effort to safeguard democracy itself, pointing to what they call systematic attempts at undermining free and fair elections. Through speeches, public interactions, and symbolic gestures, the party hopes to awaken public consciousness and ignite a sense of collective responsibility.
As Bihar gears up for the 2025 Assembly elections, the significance of such campaigns cannot be understated. For the INDIA bloc, this is not just about winning seats—it is about presenting a united front, strengthening grassroots networks, and regaining the trust of people who feel disillusioned with the political system.
Tuesday’s event in Supaul promises to be more than just a political rally. With Rahul Gandhi leading the charge, Priyanka Gandhi adding her voice, and allies like Tejashwi Yadav and Mukesh Sahni walking shoulder to shoulder, the Yatra symbolizes the opposition’s determination to stand together. It is as much about unity as it is about rights.
For those gathering in Supaul, and for many more across Bihar who will watch the images and speeches unfold, the message is clear: the fight for democracy and voter rights is not abstract—it is personal, immediate, and essential.
