The Congress party has received a significant political boost ahead of the 2025 Bihar Assembly elections. Several leaders, including the party's influential figure Mohammad Jahangir, have rejoined the Congress.
Patna: The Congress party has gained political strength before the 2025 Bihar Assembly elections. Senior leader Mohammad Jahangir and several other prominent leaders have strengthened the Congress in the upcoming elections by rejoining the party. These leaders had expressed displeasure with the party over ticket distribution during the 2019 Assembly by-elections.
Jahangir stated that he never left the party and was only taking a break at home for some time. His return was welcomed by the Member of Parliament and Members of the Legislative Assembly, which has not only increased the party's electoral strength but also strengthened the position of the Congress within the Grand Alliance.
Who Has Returned to the Party
Along with Jahangir, the leaders returning to the party include Abid, Budhra Mukhiya representative Mohammad Javed, and several others. All these leaders were upset during the 2019 by-elections when the party gave the Assembly ticket to the mother of Member of Parliament Dr. Mohammad Javed. At that time, some leaders even engaged in anti-party activities, but now their return has opened new opportunities for the Congress.
MP representative Imran, Block Congress President Master Anamul, and MLA Izharul Hussain played an important role in this homecoming. All the senior leaders and MLAs expressed happiness during the welcome and hoped that the party would be strengthened.
Hundreds Gather in Purnia
Led by senior Congress leader Jitendra Yadav, hundreds of people from Purnia participated in the Voter Rights Yatra organized in Sasaram, Bihar. Yadav said that the purpose of this journey is to connect with the general public and increase the strength of the Grand Alliance. Starting from Sasaram, this 16-day Voter Rights Yatra will cover a distance of approximately 1300 kilometers and will conclude with a massive rally in Patna on September 1. Leaders from all parties of the Grand Alliance are participating in it.
Senior Congress leader and Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, launched his Voter Rights Yatra from Sasaram on Sunday. The aim of this Yatra is to connect with the public by going to every district of Bihar and to make them aware of the rights of democracy. Jitendra Yadav said, "This Voter Rights Yatra will prove to be a milestone. This journey of the Grand Alliance is historic and is being fought in the interest of the general public. Preparations for this journey, proposed in Purnia on August 24, have already started.
He further said that this initiative of Rahul Gandhi will set a new direction for democracy. The Congress has always strived to give equal rights to all citizens and protect their votes.
