Patna (Bihar) [India], April 7 (ANI): Ahead of Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi's visit to Bihar, Congress leader Dr Shakeel Ahmad Khan on Monday said that he is coming to the state to fulfil his commitment of social unity and social justice.
"People are happy, and he is coming to Bihar frequently to fulfil his commitment of social unity and social justice. He is appealing to the people to take part in this campaign to remove this blind and deaf government," Khan told ANI.
Earlier today, Rahul Gandhi left for Bihar where he will join NSUI National in-charge Kanhaiya Kumar's 'Palayan Roko Naukri Do' Yatra in Begusarai.
The Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition will later address a public meeting in Patna.
In a post on X, Rahul Gandhi on Sunday said that he would visit Begusarai in Bihar, where he would hold the Yatra.
"Young friends of Bihar, I will be coming to Begusarai on April 7th to join you in the 'Roko Palayan, Do Naukri' campaign, walking shoulder to shoulder with you. The goal is to show the world the spirit of Bihar's youth, their struggles, and their hardships," Rahul said.
The Lok Sabha LoP also asked the youth to wear white t-shirts to put pressure on the Bihar government.
"Come wearing a White T-Shirt, ask questions, raise your voice--to put pressure on the government for your rights, to hold them accountable. Let's come together and make Bihar a state of opportunities," he said.
"The issues you face--unemployment, inflation, paper leaks, and the reduction in government jobs one after another, along with privatization that doesn't benefit you--are the reasons we are on this campaign. This is called the "Palayan Yatra." Come and join us wearing a white t-shirt so that the world can see the emotions of Bihar's youth and put pressure on the Bihar government. We want to mobilize the energy of Bihar's youth and build a new Bihar," Rahul Gandhi said.
Earlier, the Congress leader visited Bihar on January 18 and February 5. (ANI)
