New Delhi:In a significant political development, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi is set to embark on his ‘Voter Adhikar Yatra’ (Right to Vote March) starting tomorrow, August 17, 2025. The march, aimed at raising awareness about voting rights and electoral transparency, will see the participation of Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav, signaling a show of solidarity among key opposition figures.
The ‘Voter Adhikar Yatra’ will kick off from a public rally in Patna, Bihar, a state where the Congress and RJD have a long-standing alliance. According to sources within the Congress party, the yatra is designed to connect with voters, especially the youth and marginalized communities, and highlight the importance of their participation in the democratic process.
Tejashwi Yadav, a prominent leader of the opposition in Bihar, has confirmed his presence at the inaugural event. His participation is seen as a strategic move to project a united front against the ruling government ahead of the upcoming state and general elections. Yadav stated that the yatra is crucial for “safeguarding the constitution and the democratic rights of every citizen.”
Rahul Gandhi, who recently concluded a nationwide tour, is expected to address a large gathering at the launch, where he will outline the core messages of the march. The Congress party has announced that the yatra will cover several key states over the next few weeks, focusing on issues such as unemployment, inflation, and the alleged misuse of government agencies.
The collaboration between Rahul Gandhi and Tejashwi Yadav is expected to boost the morale of their respective party cadres and send a strong message to the electorate about the opposition’s unity. Political analysts believe that this joint effort could play a crucial role in shaping the political narrative in the lead-up to the next round of elections.
