RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav on Wednesday took a swipe at the ruling National Democratic Alliance (NDA) in Bihar, saying its full form should be read as “Nahi Denge Adhikar”.
He claimed the alliance would fail to secure a majority in the forthcoming Bihar Assembly elections.
Yadav said, “The full form of NDA is ‘Nahi Denge Adhikar’… People are supporting us. The way ‘vote chori’ is occurring, the public is aware and will protect their votes. BJP-NDA will fail in the upcoming elections.”
The remark came as the opposition’s ongoing ‘Voter Adhikar Yatra’ moved through Gangwara Mahaveer Sthan, Darbhanga, towards Sitamarhi via Muzaffarpur on Wednesday. Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin is also set to join the march.
On Tuesday, Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi, along with Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi, Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy and Tejashwi Yadav, participated in the ‘Voter Adhikar Yatra’ in Supaul.
Priyanka Gandhi Vadra intensified her criticism of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), alleging that it was conspiring to steal votes across the country.
“The BJP, which has lost the trust of the people, is hatching conspiracies to steal votes across the country. In Bihar, the BJP-JDU government, which has failed on every front, including inflation, unemployment, migration, and economic crisis, wants to remain in power by stealing the votes of the people,” she said in a post on X.

The 16-day ‘Voter Adhikar Yatra’, led by Rahul Gandhi and Tejashwi Yadav, aims to highlight alleged irregularities in the electoral roll, which opposition leaders have described as ‘vote chori’ (vote theft).
Covering over 1,300 kilometres across 20 districts, the yatra is scheduled to conclude in Patna on September 1.
The Bihar Assembly elections are expected later this year, though the Election Commission of India (ECI) has not yet announced an official date.
