Rahul Gandhi's Bihar Yatra Fails to Convert: Congress Faces Comprehensive Defeat in State Elections

Nov 14, 2025 07:52 pm CST

The recent Bihar election results mark a significant setback for the Congress party and specifically for Rahul Gandhi, whose extensive Voter Adhikar Yatra across 25 districts and 110 constituencies failed to translate into electoral success. Despite covering approximately 1,300 kilometers and campaigning against alleged vote theft by the BJP, Congress is leading in just five seats out of 61 contested, while the NDA alliance has secured a decisive victory across the state. This outcome raises questions about Gandhi's electoral strategy and the effectiveness of his yatras as political tools in the Bihar context.
