Rahul Gandhi's Wayanad rival Annie Raja of CPI joins 'Voter Adhikar Yatra' in Bihar
Bettiah (PTI): CPI leader Annie Raja on Friday joined Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi in the 'Voter Adhikar Yatra' in Bihar's West Champaran district.
Raja, along with Gandhi and RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav, participated in the yatra in Bettiah, the district headquarters.
"The right to vote is most important. It empowers us to choose our government. Elections reflect true equality in our country, where every vote carries the same value, whether cast by the rich or the poor. We firmly stand against any attempt to take away this right," she told PTI Video.
Raja was Gandhi's opponent in the Wayanad seat in Kerala in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
The Congress leader had defeated her by a margin of 3.64 lakh votes. However, he later gave up the Wayanad seat for his sister Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, and retained the Raebareli seat in Uttar Pradesh, which he had also won.
Gandhi launched the 'Voter Adhikar Yatra' from Sasaram in Rohtas district on August 17 against the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in the state.
The yatra will culminate in Patna on September 1. It has so far covered Gayaji, Nawada, Sheikhpura, Lakhisarai, Munger, Katihar, Darbhanga, Madhubani, Sitamarhi, Muzaffarpur and Purnea districts.

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.

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.
