Rahul Gandhi Accuses BJP-RSS

Rahul Gandhi's 'Vote Rights Yatra' in Bihar against SIR has started from Sasaram. In a public meeting at Suara Airport Ground in Sasaram, Rahul said, 'This is a fight to save the Constitution. BJP-RSS are hell-bent on destroying the Constitution in the whole country.'

Rahul asserted that the BJP always wins elections through unfair means. He used the example of Maharashtra where the Grand Alliance (Mahagathbandhan) was predicted by polls to win the elections. They did lose in the same area though four months later.

ग़रीब की ताक़त है उसका वोट - यही उसका हक़, उसकी आवाज़, उसकी पहचान है।

आज वही ताक़त छीनी जा रही है - SIR के ज़रिए वोट चोरी की साज़िश चल रही है।

Lalu Prasad Yadav

After several days Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Lalu Prasad Yadav addressed the rally. Get rid of the crooks chase the BJP away and help our party win he demanded. The BJP which cheats should never be allowed to take power.

In order to beat the BJP he urged Rahul Gandhi and Tejashwi Yadav to work together and called for unity. Your vote is not just being stolen it is being robbed Tejashwi Yadav told the audience in front of Rahul.

Bihar is a democratic state and Tejashwi and Rahuls team will not allow voting rights to be undermined. He charged that the government had deleted numerous names from voter lists and issued a warning that people may soon lose their ration and pension cards as well.
