Tejashwi Yadav Leads Mahagathbandhan March To Raj Bhavan Over SIR

The Mahagathbandhan held a march to the Raj Bhavan in Patna on Thursday, protesting against the Election Commission and the Special Intensive Revision, or SIR, of the electoral roll. The march was led by RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav.

The protesters demanded transparency in the election process. They also called for an investigation into the alleged irregularities being raised against the Election Commission.

During the march, police put up barricades in an attempt to stop the protesters. Tejashwi Yadav climbed onto the barricading as the protest continued. A situation of pushing and shoving also developed between the protesters and the police.

Later, Tejashwi Yadav, Mukesh Sahni and leaders of the Left parties reached the Raj Bhavan to meet the Governor. The Patna Police made it clear that Tejashwi Yadav had not been taken into custody.

The Mahagathbandhan has alleged that irregularities in the SIR process could affect the democratic system. The alliance has linked its protest to concerns over the transparency of the election process and the allegations being made against the Election Commission.

The ruling side, however, has described these allegations as a strategy of political opposition. The protest and the Raj Bhavan march were organised by the Mahagathbandhan under Tejashwi Yadav’s leadership.
