Congress MP Pramod Tiwari stated on Monday that the public will hold accountable those who attempt to "steal votes," as the Congress' 16-day-long 'Voter Adhikar Yatra' in Bihar comes to an end today. The yatra, led by Congress MP and Lok Sabha LoP Rahul Gandhi, aimed to raise awareness about voter rights and protest alleged "vote theft" and irregularities in the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls.

Tiwari thanked the people of Bihar for showing their "strength" alongside Rahul Gandhi and other leaders of the INDIA alliance. He said, "The way the people of Bihar have taken to the streets to protect the Constitution and safeguard voting rights demonstrates their support for Rahul Gandhi and the INDIA bloc. I am confident that in the future, the public will punish those who steal votes."

On the concluding day in Patna, Rahul Gandhi was joined by senior INDIA bloc leaders, including RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav, Shiv Sena UBT MP Sanjay Raut, and TMC MP Yusuf Pathan. Raut described the yatra as a "unique movement to save democracy," which has generated awareness across the country.

The campaign, which began on August 17 from Sasaram with Rahul Gandhi and Tejashwi Yadav, covered 25 districts including Aurangabad, Gayaji, and Siwan. Leaders from several parties, including Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav, CPI(ML) General Secretary Dipankar Bhattacharya, Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi, and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin, participated at various points. Other chief ministers, such as Karnataka’s Siddharamaiah, Himachal Pradesh’s Sukhvinder Sukhu, and Telangana’s Revanth Reddy, also joined the yatra.
