It traverses over 1,300 km in more than 20 districts, with the rally being touted as a movement to safeguard the right to vote and protect the Constitution against what the opposition terms as systematic voter fraud by the BJP and the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls by the Election Commission.
In Sasaram on Day 1, leaders, including Rahul Gandhi, Mallikarjun Kharge, Tejashwi Yadav and Lalu Prasad Yadav, delivered fiery speeches, accusing the BJP of “vote theft” and pledging to defend democracy in Bihar. Enormous crowds demonstrated the strength of the INDIA Bloc with the polls in the state approaching.
Today, the Yatra will wind on with rallies, padyatras and roadshows campaigning in new constituencies, where opposition leaders are expected to double down against the BJP on issues of democracy, rights and livelihoods while asking for the voters’ support.

Rahul Gandhi vows to stop 'vote chori' in Bihar | Gareeb Dekh Vote Kata
Rahul Gandhi says even regular voters names were struck off in Bihar, blaming “orders from above.” He vows to continue the fight against ‘vote chori’ in Aurangabad.
जिन लोगों ने पिछले 4-5 चुनावों में वोट किया, बिहार में उनका भी वोट चोरी कर लिया।
और, जब वजह पूछा, तो एक ही जवाब मिला- ऊपर से ऑर्डर आया है।
ये गरीबों के अधिकार की लड़ाई है – हम रुकेंगे नहीं। वोट चोरी रोक कर रहेंगे। pic.twitter.com/wL1AdnKM6O
