Rahul Gandhi and Tejashwi Yadav will share the stage together for the first time on October 29 for Bihar elections. This first joint public meeting of the Grand Alliance will be held in Muzaffarpur and Darbhanga. The aim of this rally is to give momentum to the election campaign by raising issues like employment and farmers.
After the conclusion of Chhath Puja, the great festival of folk faith, now the politics of Bihar is going to heat up once again. October 29 is going to be a big day in Bihar politics, when Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav will share the election platform together for the first time after the announcement of elections. This first joint public meeting of the Grand Alliance will be organized in Sakra (reserved) assembly constituency of Muzaffarpur district and Darbhanga.
Grand alliance’s election conch shell
Bihar Congress Media Department Chairman Rajesh Rathore informed that this visit of Rahul Gandhi is the first formal entry of Congress for the assembly elections. Rahul Gandhi will address the first public meeting in Sakra in favor of Grand Alliance candidate Umesh Ram. After this he will attend the public meeting of RJD supported candidate in Darbhanga. This rally is being considered as an election rallying cry for the Grand Alliance, which can give a new direction to the campaign in the coming phases.
After 16 days of padyatra, now starting with public meeting
Earlier, Rahul Gandhi had undertaken a 1300 km long journey in Bihar for 16 days. During this, he visited many districts of the state, met common people and talked about issues like unemployment, education, inflation. Now the same Rahul Gandhi, who remained in the headlines with campaigns like “Bharat Jodo Yatra” and “Save Constitution Campaign”, will connect with the people in Bihar elections through direct public relations and meetings.
Everyone’s eyes on the joint rally of Rahul-Tejashwi
There is tremendous enthusiasm among the workers of both the parties regarding the joint public meeting of Rahul Gandhi and Tejashwi Yadav. Top leaders of both Congress and RJD will be on one platform, which is expected to provide electoral energy to the Grand Alliance workers. According to sources, in this rally both the leaders will raise major issues like “employment, farmers and social justice”. While Rahul Gandhi will give a speech focusing on unemployment and inflation, Tejashwi Yadav is preparing to communicate directly with the youth and farmers.
This time Bihar will speak, change is needed
Rajesh Rathore, Chairman of Congress Media Department, said, “This visit of Rahul Gandhi is not just publicity, but the beginning of fulfilling his promise to the public. He will raise the voice of every section of Bihar which has been ignored by the present government.”
The leaders of the Grand Alliance believe that this campaign starting after Chhath Puja can turn the election wind in their direction. There is new enthusiasm among the Congress workers due to the presence of Rahul Gandhi, while the popularity of Tejashwi Yadav will give an edge to the Grand Alliance in the field.
Election battle will start from Sakra and Darbhanga
This meeting of Rahul Gandhi is being seen as a ‘power show’ not only for the Congress but for the entire Grand Alliance. Both Sakra and Darbhanga areas play a decisive role in the politics of Mithilanchal and Tirhut region. In such a situation, it is being considered a strategic step to start campaigning for the pair of Rahul and Tejashwi from there.
Wave of change after Chhath
Political analysts say that after Chhath Puja, the mood of the people of Bihar will decide which way the elections will go. This rally of Rahul Gandhi and Tejashwi Yadav is being considered as an attempt to give direction to that wave. Both Congress and RJD are confident that this common platform will create new trust among the youth and the poor section.
