Rahul Gandhi led Congress' 'Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra' on Monday entered the current politically heated state, Bihar. The yatra has entered through Kishanganj, a day after the Congress was left high and dry with former ally Nitish Kumar, the Bihar chief minister. Nitish Kumar made a return to the Bhartiya Janata Party led NDA on Sunday and also took the oath ninth time as chief minister of Bihar.

Kishanganj, a district in the Seemanchal region of the state, holds a majority Muslim population and is also a Congress stronghold. State Congress president Akhilesh Prasad Singh and other senior party leaders welcomed Rahul Gandhi in Bihar. This is Gandhi's first visit to Bihar since the assembly poll campaign of 2020.
