With the Bihar election just a few weeks away, the fire between the NDA and the INDIA bloc leaders has been fuelled to its max. Soon after the Bihar CM announced a couple of schemes in the last two days, RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav, on Wednesday, while hailing his Bihar Adhikar Yatra, said that he is making waves in Patna, with thousands turning out to support the march.

On the second day of the yatra, RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav expressed the public's growing frustration with the current government, citing rampant corruption, extortion in government offices and police stations, and a surge in crime that leaves citizens feeling unsafe in their own homes, as reported by news agency ANI. 


Tejashwi Yadav, while addressing the media on Wednesday, said, "Today is the second day of the yatra... Wherever we are going, thousands of people are coming out on the streets to support this march," as cited by news agency ANI. 



During the Yatra, Yadav also addressed that the public is angry with Bihar's current government, as corruption and extortion have increased in many block offices and police stations.

RJD leader, while slamming Nitish Kumar’s birthday, said that, "The entire public of Bihar is furious with the current government. "Corruption has increased; extortion has increased in block offices and police stations," as cited by news agency ANI. 

He further claimed that crime has increased to the point that people do not even feel safe in their homes. "Crime has increased so much that people do not feel safe even in their own homes..." added Tejashwi Yadav.

Earlier, the Rashtriya Janata Dal leader also launched the 'Adhikar Yatra' to address youth unemployment and ensure the rights of women, respect for teachers and better the health and education system in Bihar yesterday.

According to RJD MP Sanjay Yadav, this rally is covering the districts that were left out in the 'Voter Adhikar Yatra' organised by Congress.

RJD legislator while hailing the ‘Voter Adhikar Yatra’ asserted that, “After the 'Voter Adhikar Yatra', some districts were left out, in which all our workers and leaders from there came and said that the districts have been left out, so Tejashwi ji took the decision to take out this yatra respecting their feelings. Secondly, Tejashwi ji is taking out this yatra with the resolution of building a new Bihar. Jobs and employment for the youth, rights for women, respect for teachers, industries should be set up in Bihar, and the education and health system should be better," as cited by news agency ANI. 

Ahead of Yatra's launch, Tejashwi Yadav said that they will form a "corruption-free", "crime-free" government when they come to power.
