The 'Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra,' led by Rahul Gandhi, entered Bihar, impacting the political scenario after Nitish Kumar's exit from the I.N.D.I.A bloc to rejoin the NDA. Rahul Gandhi plans rallies in Kishanganj, Purnea, and Katihar, addressing the evolving political dynamics.
Bihar
witnessed a significant political upheaval as Rahul Gandhi's 'Bharat
Jodo Nyay Yatra' traversed through Kishanganj, a district known for its
substantial Muslim population and Congress stronghold. This move came a day
after Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's surprising departure from the I.N.D.I.A
bloc to reunite with the NDA.
Rahul
Gandhi, making his first appearance in Bihar since the 2020 Assembly poll
campaign, is set to address public gatherings in Kishanganj, Purnea, and
Katihar. Congress legislature party leader Shakil Ahmed Khan confirmed the
schedule, highlighting the strategic importance of these locations.
The
Yatra, signaling a shift in Bihar politics, coincided with Nitish Kumar's move,
adding complexity to the unfolding scenario. Nitish Kumar, who walked out of
the Opposition's grand alliance, faced criticism from the Opposition, vowing a
response from the people in upcoming elections.
Despite the political turbulence, Congress extended invitations to alliance partners RJD President Lalu Yadav and CPI(ML)-L General Secretary Dipankar Bhattacharya for the Purnea rally. Notably, an invitation was also extended to Nitish Kumar before his alliance switch, underscoring the swift changes in Bihar's political landscape.

strategically planned to traverse West Bengal, Araria district, and Jharkhand,
demonstrating its broader influence on the political narrative.
As
Bihar braces for upcoming elections, the 'Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra' and Nitish
Kumar's alliance shift have set the stage for a dynamic political contest, with
implications reaching beyond the state's borders. The I.N.D.I.A bloc remains
determined to contest unitedly against the BJP-led NDA, emphasizing the
resilience of the Opposition alliance.
