Priyanka Gandhi to join Rahul Gandhi’s Voter Adhikar Yatra in Bihar today

Priyanka Gandhi will join Rahul Gandhi in Bihar’s Voter Adhikar Yatra today in Supaul, alongside Tejashwi Yadav and Mukesh Sahni, as the INDIA bloc pushes electoral rights ahead of 2025 state polls.

New Delhi: Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra will join Lok Sabha Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi in the ongoing Voter Adhikar Yatra (Voter Rights Yatra) in Supaul, Bihar, on Tuesday.

The Yatra, part of the INDIA bloc’s state-wide campaign, aims to raise awareness about electoral rights and alleged vote suppression, with strong participation from senior Congress and opposition leaders.

Rahul Gandhi will begin today’s Yatra at 8 a.m. from Hussain Chowk in Supaul city. From there, his convoy will pass through Mahavir Chowk, Gandhi Maidan, and Lohia Nagar Chowk, culminating at Degree College Chowk.

Party workers and supporters from neighbouring districts such as Saharsa and Madhepura are expected to join in large numbers.

Leader of the Opposition in the Bihar Assembly Tejashwi Yadav and Vikassheel Insaan Party (VIP) chief Mukesh Sahni will also take part in the Supaul leg of the Yatra. Their presence underscores the INDI alliance’s coordinated push to mount pressure on the ruling NDA ahead of the 2025 Bihar Assembly elections.

AICC General Secretary (Organisation) K.C. Venugopal confirmed that Priyanka Gandhi will be in Bihar on August 26 and 27. She will participate in key events in Supaul today and visit the Janaki Temple in Sitamarhi tomorrow to offer prayers.

The Voter Adhikar Yatra, which began earlier this month, has already covered significant ground across Bihar. On Sunday, Rahul Gandhi attracted wide public attention during the Seemanchal leg by riding a Royal Enfield motorcycle for 2 km with BPCC president Rajesh Ram as his pillion rider.

He also stopped at a roadside dhaba near Jalalgarh on the Purnea–Araria route, where he interacted with locals over tea.

The Congress-led campaign highlights concerns over voter suppression and stresses democratic accountability, branding the Yatra as a “battle to protect electoral rights.”
