Rahul Gandhi's Strong Allegations in Bihar

On Sunday, Congress MP Rahul Gandhi criticized the BJP and the Election Commission during the 'Voter Adhikar Yatra' held in Sasaram, Bihar. He claimed that elections at both the state and national levels are being compromised.

Speaking at the event, Rahul Gandhi, who is also the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, stated, "From this platform, I declare that elections across the country are being manipulated. Their latest scheme involves conducting SIR in Bihar to undermine the electoral process here as well. We are united in our resolve to prevent them from stealing this election."

He further remarked, "The public is now aware of the actions of the Election Commission. Previously, the methods of vote manipulation were obscure, but we have clarified these issues in our press briefings."

Rahul Gandhi also expressed skepticism about Prime Minister Modi's willingness to conduct a genuine caste census, asserting that the INDIA coalition would ensure its implementation. He concluded by thanking Lalu Prasad Yadav for attending the event despite medical advice against it.
