Congress leader Rahul Gandhi is continuing his Vote Adhikar Yatra, undeterred by the recent protests by Bharatiya Janata Party workers over alleged derogatory slogans raised against Prime Minister Narendra Modi during the rally.
On Saturday, the yatra witnessed a 'rare show of love' after Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha workers conducted a black flag protest against the Opposition leader in Darbhanga, Bihar. The protesters were stopped by security personnel while they tried to get close to Gandhi.

BJP workers are protesting against Rahul Gandhi over alleged derogatory slogans raised against Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his mother during one of the rallies in Bihar. BJP leaders, including Union Home Minister Amit Shah, condemned Gandhi for the use of defamatory language during his rally, while Congress maintained that the one who raised the slogan did not belong to their party.
Noticing the protesters, Gandhi, who was travelling in an open vehicle, summoned them closer and offered candies. However, security personnel removed the protesters from the premises.
The Congress-led Opposition is conducting Vote Adhikar Yatra in poll-bound Bihar, alleging irregularities in the intensive electoral roll revision underway in the state. The Opposition accused the Election Commission of colluding with the BJP and fudging the electoral roll in the ruling party's favour. Gandhi accused the Election Commission and the BJP of committing 'vote theft'.
