Voter Adhikar Yatra will influence Bihar polls, says UP Congress leader
Lucknow: Senior Uttar Pradesh Congress leader Avinash Pande has asserted that the recently concluded Voter Adhikar Yatra in Bihar will have a significant impact on the upcoming Bihar Assembly elections.
Speaking on Sunday during a ‘Voter Adhikar Rally’ in Sitapur, modelled on the Bihar yatra, Pande said the public mood was shifting against the ruling government. “Today’s public response clearly shows the mood of the people. Citizens have made up their minds — they want a government that truly works in their interest. In 2027, during the UP Assembly elections, the public will give a befitting reply to the NDA. The change will begin with Bihar this year,” he stated.
Uttar Pradesh Congress President Ajay Rai also addressed the gathering, announcing that the rally would travel from village to village and district to district to ensure no one is deprived of their voting rights.
Taking to X, Pande alleged that the BJP government, with the support of the Election Commission, was indulging in “electoral manipulations.” He claimed fake voters were being added in bulk while genuine opposition voters were being systematically deleted. “This is not just electoral fraud — it’s a direct attack on democracy. Congress will fight this battle with full strength, alongside the people, to defend democracy,” he posted.
Pande further backed RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav’s criticism of the BJP over unfulfilled promises. “Tejashwi is absolutely right. Across India, the youth feel betrayed by the promise of 2 crore jobs per year. Where are the 22 crore jobs promised in the last 11 years? Instead, industries are shutting down, unemployment is rising, and inflation is skyrocketing. The people will answer this betrayal in the coming days,” he said.

23-year-old woman found dead at Delhi home; suicide suspected
New Delhi (PTI): A 23-year-old woman was found dead in her house in Delhi's Prem Nagar area, with police suspecting it to be a case of suicide, an official said on Tuesday.
The deceased, identified as Anjali Singh, was found motionless in her room on Monday by her sister and her neighbour.
Police said her father, Vinod Kumar Singh (51), told them that he and his wife were away at work at the time of the incident, while their son and the other daughter were also not at home at the time of the incident.

According to the family, the room in which Anjali was found was locked from the inside. The door was later forcibly opened by a neighbour and her sister with the help of a crowbar.
Her body was found lying on the bed inside the room, police said.
Preliminary inquiry revealed that Anjali had allegedly hanged herself using a piece of cloth tied to the ceiling fan.
It is suspected that the noose eventually might have loosened or torn off, resulting in her being found lying on the bed.
Family members informed the police that Anjali was a final-year student of a librarian science course from Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU). About a week ago, her final-year examination results were declared, and she had failed, following which she had been under depression, they said.
The family has not raised any allegation of foul play, police said, adding that no suicide note or external injury marks were found on the body during the initial inspection.
Inquest proceedings have been initiated in the matter as per the law. The body has been sent for post-mortem examination to ascertain the exact cause of death, and further investigation is underway, police added.
