      He urged participation in Rahul Gandhi’s upcoming ‘Matdata Adhikar Yatra’ to protest alleged electoral roll irregularities and voter disenfranchisement Patna: RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav on Friday said it was “ironical” that the people of Bihar were fighting to “protect” their right to vote when the country was celebrating Independence Day.
