Bihar News: Tejashwi, Rahul Lead Protest March; Mahagathbandhan Slams EC Over Voter List Revision

Tensions soared in Bihar as leaders of the INDIA alliance, including Tejashwi Yadav and Rahul Gandhi, spearheaded a protest march against the Election Commission's ongoing voter list revision. The march, which was halted at police barricades near the Election Commission office in Patna, was a major display of opposition unity, with leaders from RJD, Congress, CPIML, and other allied parties riding a single protest truck, raising slogans and demanding justice.Tejashwi Yadav accused the NDA government and the Election Commission of conspiring to disenfranchise the poor, Dalits, backward, and minority communities ahead of the 2025 Bihar Assembly elections. He challenged the Election Commission to hold a press conference and explain its actions transparently. Rahul Gandhi, carrying a copy of the Constitution, emphasized that the revision process threatens democratic rights and undermines electoral integrity.CPIML’s Dipankar Bhattacharya addressed the crowd, hailing the workers and farmers of India for standing in solidarity. Protesters labeled the exercise as "votebandi," comparing it to demonetization, aimed at targeting non-BJP voters. A limited delegation was later allowed to approach the EC office.
