"The fight for the right to vote will continue": RJD's Manoj Kumar Jha on Voter Adhikar Yatra

The Voter Adhikar Yatra, spearheaded by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and other Mahagathbandhan leaders in Bihar, will culminate in a grand finale with a march in Patna on September 1. Instead of a rally, the yatra will conclude with top leaders addressing the crowd at various points during the protest, as the Patna administration did not grant permission for the rally.

Siwan (Bihar) [India], August 30 (ANI): RJD MP Manoj Kumar Jha emphasised on Saturday that the fight for voting rights will persist beyond the conclusion of the yatra. He asserted that the yatra has resonated with the people, instilling fear among those in power.
Speaking to ANI, Jha claimed the yatra's influence extends beyond Bihar, resonating with citizens nationwide.
Jha said, "The fight for the right to vote will continue. As I have said before, this yatra is no longer under the control of Tejashwi Yadav and Rahul Gandhi; it has entered the hearts of the people."
Taking a dig at the ruling regime, he said that the Yatra is a reason for their fear.
"It has become a source of trouble for them and a reason for their fear. Clearly, the impact of this yatra is not limited to Bihar but has also reached beyond the state," Jha said.
The Voter Adhikar Yatra, spearheaded by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and other Mahagathbandhan leaders in Bihar, will culminate in a grand finale with a march in Patna on September 1. Instead of a rally, the yatra will conclude with top leaders addressing the crowd at various points during the protest, as the Patna administration did not grant permission for the rally.
Jha also slammed the remarks made by the Union Home Minister, Amit Shah, terming the Yatra as 'Ghuspaithiya Bachao Yatra.'
Amit Shah's remarks came after an alleged video on the internet showed the accused hurling abusive slurs against PM Modi during an INDIA bloc event.
Jha said, said, "Amit Shah should first think that if there are illegal infiltrators in the country, then who is responsible for them? Mr Home Minister, you are responsible. You should quit gracefully."

Shah said, "The amount of abuses you will hurl at PM Modi, the lotus will be bigger. You hurled abuses in every election, and after losing, you are marching on this 'Ghuspaithiya Bachao Yatra'. How can a state be secure if the infiltrators affect the elections?"
Darbhanga Police have arrested an accused and registered a case in the matter.
Meanwhile, Bihar elections are expected to be held later this year, in October or November; however, the Election Commission of India (ECI) has not announced an official date. (ANI)
