Rahul said Attempt to steal Bihar elections like Maharashtra Rahul Gandhi said, Election Commission, I am telling you clearly. I am clearly telling the people of Bihar and India that the Maharashtra elections were stolen and similarly an attempt is being made to steal the Bihar elections. They know that we have understood the Maharashtra model, so they have brought the Bihar model. This is a way to snatch the votes of the poor. This is Bihar and the people of Bihar will not let this happen. Our people went and met the Election Commission. I could not go. The Election Commission is talking like BJP and RSS leaders. They have forgotten that they are not BJP leaders. I say do whatever you want to do, but later the law will prevail over you. More than 6 parties of Mahagathbandhan, including Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), Congress, Left parties, VIP Party and Jan Adhikar Party (Pappu Yadav), are involved in the Bihar Bandh. 2 pictures of Rahul-Tejaswi’s demonstration… Hearing in Supreme Court on 10th July Supreme Court has agreed to hear the matter regarding voter list revision going on in Bihar.
