NEW DELHI: The ongoing ‘Voter Adhikar Yatra’ of Rahul Gandhi-Tejashwi Yadav is set to become a show of opposition unity, with senior netas of regional parties scheduled to join the 16-day roadshow ahead of its culmination in Patna on September 1.While Tamil Nadu CM and DMK chief MK Stalin will join the yatra on Aug 27, SP chief Akhilesh Yadav will be part of the show on Aug 30.Congress general secretary KC Venugopal said Jharkhand CM Hemant Soren and other opposition netas will also join the yatra in coming days. Among Congress CMs turning up for the roadshow are Karnataka’s Siddaramaiah, Telangana’s Revanth Reddy and Himachal’s Sukhwinder Sukhu. MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra will be part of the yatra for two days on Aug 26 and 27.The roadshow designed to take forward opposition’s offensive of “vote chori” came after a rare unity in anti-BJP ranks which even led to a washout of proceedings in the just-concluded Monsoon session of Parliament. The participation of non-Congress stalwarts is seen as a fillip for the agenda which would also send out a message to BJP. Given that Bihar assembly polls will be announced after a few weeks, RJD and Congress also hope that it would boost the profile of the anti-BJP alliance and provide further traction with the people ahead of the tough contest.
