Mallikarjun Kharge Urges Voters to Turn Out in Large Numbers as Bihar Enters Crucial Second Phase of Polling

Patna: As Bihar enters the decisive phase of its Assembly elections, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge on Monday made a strong pitch for change, declaring that the Mahagathbandhan (Grand Alliance) will bring an end to what he termed a “helpless system” that has governed the state for two decades.

In a post shared on social media ahead of the second and final phase of polling, Kharge said the alliance is committed to transforming Bihar’s future and restoring its long-lost pride. “The Mahagathbandhan will free Bihar from the helpless system of 20 years. Migration will stop, and darkness will be removed from the future of the youth. Their future will shine with employment in every household,” Kharge stated.

He further emphasised the alliance’s focus on social justice, vowing to uplift the most marginalised communities. “We will end injustice and change Bihar with social justice. Dalits, Mahadalits, tribals, backward and most backward classes, along with the economically weaker sections and minorities, will get their due rights,” he added.

Outlining the Mahagathbandhan’s promises, Kharge said the alliance aims to ensure economic empowerment for women, farmers, and the youth. “The people of Bihar have decided to change the picture of their state. We will restore Bihar’s pride — this is our guarantee,” he affirmed.
