Union Minister Giriraj Singh launched a sharp attack on the RJD and Congress, alleging that Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has failed to support RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav for the Chief Minister’s post in Bihar. Giriraj Singh said, “Rahul Gandhi, being a ‘Pappu’ himself, has made Tejashwi Yadav a ‘Super Pappu’. He has shattered Lalu Yadav’s dream of making his son the Chief Minister. Tejashwi Yadav is busy playing second fiddle to make Rahul Gandhi the Prime Minister, but Rahul has never once named Tejashwi (for the CM post).”

Giriraj Singh’s Criticism: Targeting Rahul Gandhi and Tejashwi Yadav, Giriraj Singh claimed that the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) report has “exposed” both leaders, effectively ending their political aspirations in Bihar. He accused them of insulting Bihar and its people. Additionally, he alleged that by inviting Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin and Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy to the ‘Voter Adhikar Yatra’, they insulted Biharis and Hindus.

Voter Adhikar Yatra: Led by Rahul Gandhi, this 16-day campaign concluded in Patna on September 1, 2025. Its primary aim was to oppose the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) conducted by the Election Commission and to defend Rahul Gandhi’s allegations of “vote theft.”PALAY® Straw Hat Sun Hats for Women,Wide Brim Cap Beach Hat for Women Stylish UV Protection Cap,Summer Packable Travel Sun Visor Hat - UPF 50+

Tejashwi’s Response: Tejashwi Yadav criticized the NDA government in Bihar, stating, “Crime and corruption have increased in Bihar. The state of education, irrigation, and healthcare is deplorable. Bihar ranks last in per capita income and investment. It is also at the bottom in farmers’ income. There are no industries or businesses.”

Political Context: The Bihar Assembly elections are likely to be held in October or November this year, though the Election Commission has not yet announced official dates. The yatra is part of pre-election political activities.
