The ‘Voter Adhikar Yatra’ of the Congress has started from Sasaram in Bihar on Sunday. The visit was flagged off by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and party president Mallikarjun Kharge. Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad Yadav and leader Tejashwi Yadav were also present on the occasion.
Tejashwi Yadav surrounds BJP
Speaking at the ‘Voter Adhikar Yatra’ program, Tejashwi Yadav attacked the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) fiercely. He said that the BJP is getting the work done by the Election Commission which they cannot do themselves.
Tejashwi alleged, “The BJP is getting the work done by the Election Commission that he cannot do himself, that is, he is taking away your rights from you.” He further said that Rahul Gandhi called those people who were declared dead in the voter list by the Election Commission. Tejashwi described it as not ‘theft of vote’, but ‘robbery of vote’.
