The objective of the yatra was to engage in direct dialogue with the public and highlight the failures of the current government. Tejashwi urged the party workers to bring about a change in the government and not to overlook issues of unemployment, inflation, and other social problems.
The yatra began from Nadwan Bazaar on the Patna-Gaya four-lane in Dhanrua, Sarwan Gumti, and Sakarpura More. Tejashwi assured the public that the RJD is committed to their well-being and resolving their issues will be a priority.
Stage Remained Vacant Amidst Opposition from Rekha Devi
During the yatra, at Sarwan Gumti, party workers protested against the current MLA, Rekha Devi. RJD workers lay down on the main road, chanting slogans of "Remove Rekha, Save Masaurhi." Due to the intense protest, Tejashwi Yadav could not alight from his vehicle, and the stage remained vacant. As planned, Tejashwi was supposed to address the public from the stage near Sarwan Gumti, but considering the workers' agitation, he did not descend there.
Opposition to Rekha Devi was observed in several areas including Nadwa, Sakarpura, and Damdichak. The protest gained further momentum with the participation of Dhanrua block's Deputy Head, Rajkishore Prasad.

He also reiterated that the decision regarding the Chief Minister's post within the Mahagathbandhan is solely in favor of Tejashwi Yadav. According to him, no other party in Bihar possesses a leader like Tejashwi for the Chief Ministership.
