During the Bihar leg of the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra, Rahul will cover four seats of Kishanganj, Katihar, Purnia and Sasaram and try to strengthen the Congress party in the seats. After staying in Bihar for four days, the Yatra will enter Jharkhand where the Congress leader and MP will try to woo the voters ahead of the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. Sources associated with the yatra said that Rahul Gandhi will enter Bihar twice.
During the first visit, he will leave for Jharkhand via the four parliamentary constituencies of Seemanchal, Kishanganj, Araria, Purnia, Katihar. In the second phase, Rahul will pass through four parliamentary constituencies Buxar, Aurangabad, Karakat and Sasaram. In the last elections, Congress had managed only one seat from the Grand Alliance in Kishanganj.
