Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has launched a 'Vote Adhikar Yatra' in Bihar, opposing the SIR and alleging 'vote theft' by the BJP in connivance with the Election Commission.

Earlier this week, Stalin had joined Rahul Gandhi, Rashtriya Janata Dal leader Tejashwi Yadav and CPI-ML leader Dipankar Bhattacharya in Bihar's Muzaffarpur for the yatra.

Stalin has accused the BJP of turning the Election Commission of India (ECI) into a puppet.

"If elections are conducted in a fair manner, the NDA is going to lose. They (Centre) have made the Election Commission a puppet that is being run by a remote control. Removing the people of Bihar from the voters' list is not right," he had said while addressing the crowd in Muzaffarpur.

"I have come from Tamil Nadu to support my brothers. Rahul Gandhi has exposed the 'vote chori' by the Election Commission. CEC Gyanesh Kumar says that Rahul Gandhi should give an affidavit or apologise. Will Rahul Gandhi ever get scared by all this?... Today, the BJP is attacking them because it has shown how the BJP has turned elections into a joke," he said.

Meanwhile, as the 'Voter Adhikar Yatra' entered its final stages, Congress MP and Lok Sabha LoP Rahul Gandhi, RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav and Vikassheel Insaan Party (VIP) chief Mukesh Sahani on Friday took part in the campaign in Bettiah.
