A day after Nitish Kumar rejoined the BJP-led NDA, the Congress launched its Bharat Jodo Yatra in Bihar, marking Rahul Gandhi’s first visit to the state since the 2020 assembly polls. The Yatra commenced from Kishanganj, a Congress stronghold with a significant Muslim population.
Rahul Gandhi, in Kishanganj, is set to address a public gathering and lead a rally in Purnea on Tuesday, followed by another rally in Katihar a day later. Nitish Kumar, instrumental in uniting various opposition parties to form the INDIA bloc, was expected to share the stage with Rahul Gandhi during the Yatra.
