A dramatic scene took place during Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav’s motorcycle rally in Bihar’s Purnea district on Sunday. While the rally moved through the streets of Araria as part of the Voter Adhikar Yatra, an excited supporter rushed towards Rahul Gandhi and kissed him on the cheek.

Rahul Gandhi Attacks BJP Over Alleged ‘Vote Theft’
During a rally in Katihar on Saturday, Rahul Gandhi accused the BJP of attempting to manipulate the upcoming Bihar assembly polls. He said, “Attempts are being made to steal votes in favour of the BJP, which has shut the doors of opportunities for the poor since coming to power.” Gandhi also targeted the BJP and RSS over social justice, claiming, “They believe Dalits should not be emancipated, extremely backward classes must not progress, and women should not get more freedom. They are determined to destroy the Constitution.”
