Patna, April 7 (NationPress) Senior Congress MP Rahul Gandhi’s involvement in the ‘Palayan Roko’ yatra in Bihar’s Begusarai and his call for launching a 'White T-shirt movement' has sparked renewed energy and enthusiasm among the party members and supporters in the state unit.
During his participation in the White T-shirt movement in Begusarai on Monday, numerous party workers and followers joined his roadshow, with hundreds lining the streets to catch a glimpse of the event.
Bihar Congress leaders, visibly energized by his visit ahead of the Assembly elections scheduled for later this year, expressed optimism and stated that this will signal the end of the current government, which they claim has done nothing beneficial for the populace.
Congress MP Tariq Anwar, commenting on Rahul Gandhi's visit to Bihar, stated to IANS, "He has previously visited Bihar. Now, with the assembly elections approaching, his visits will increase, which will bolster the party’s position.
"The BJP is intimidated by Rahul Gandhi, yet it never openly admits it. The BJP believes that Rahul Gandhi can hinder its success, especially with the 2024 elections on the horizon. I think Rahul's presence in Bihar will have a significant impact, prompting the party to make an appeal in this context,” he added.
Congress MLA Shakeel Ahmed Khan remarked, "Rahul Gandhi is dedicated to social justice and unity and will advocate for it. This time, a change in government is imminent in Bihar."
Bihar Congress in-charge Krishna Allavaru, sharing insights about his full-day schedule, mentioned that the Congress MP will take part in the 'Constitution Security Conference' in Patna and will also convene a meeting with party leaders.
The day prior, the Leader of Opposition released a video appeal on his social media platforms, encouraging maximum youth participation in the White T-shirt movement.
"The Stop Migration, Give Jobs Yatra will showcase the struggles, suffering, and sentiments of Bihar’s youth to the world," he expressed in the video message, urging them to 'demonstrate their strength,'” he concluded in the video.
