Congress starts yatra in Bihar to attract young voters

The Congress party has launched a state-wide padyatra in Bihar to attract young voters ahead of the upcoming Assembly elections. The march began at Bhitiharwa Ashram, focusing on job creation and education with the slogan “stop migration, give jobs.” Leaders from the Indian Youth Congress and National Students Union of India highlighted issues like job scarcity and exam controversies. They aim to raise public concerns about employment and education in Bihar, criticizing the current government's performance. Bihar has a significant youth voter base, with over 5.36 crore voters aged 18-49. The Congress seeks to connect with this demographic as it prepares for the elections, while rival parties question their agenda and past governance.
