Sharing an over-four-minute video of his interaction in Aurangabad, Gandhi said, “The votes of people who voted in the last four-five elections were also stolen in Bihar. And, when asked for the reason, the only answer received was — an order has come from above.””This is a fight for the rights of the poor — we will not stop. We will stop vote theft,” he said.In the video, Gandhi is seen interacting with people whose names have been deleted from the voters’ list. He was accompanied by RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav, Vikassheel Insan Party’s Mukesh Sahani and CPI(ML) Liberation’s Dipankar Bhattacharya.Gandhi told the group that the Narendra Modi government brought in a law in 2023 to “ensure that no one can take action” against those who run the EC and it was completely wrong.Meanwhile, Gandhi, Yadav and Sahani also prayed at the Devkund Surya Mandir in Aurangabad as their Voter Adhikar Yatra entered its second day.Travelling from Kutumba, the yatra reached Gayaji on Monday evening.Embarking on the 1,300-km Voter Adhikar Yatra from Sasaram, Gandhi accused the EC on Sunday of “stealing” elections in collusion with the BJP and asserted that the INDIA opposition bloc will not let their “latest conspiracy” to steal the Bihar polls through the SIR exercise succeed.After 16 days, the yatra is scheduled to conclude with a rally in Patna on September 1.The yatra is being undertaken in a hybrid mode, on foot and by vehicles, as was Gandhi’s Manipur-to-Mumbai Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha polls.It will pass through Aurangabad, Gayaji, Nawada, Nalanda, Sheikhpura, Lakhisarai, Munger, Bhagalpur, Katihar, Purnea, Araria, Supaul, Madhubani, Darbhanga, Sitamarhi, East Champaran, West Champaran, Gopalganj, Siwan, Chhapra and Ara.
