Earlier on Thursday, the yatra reached Aurangabad in Bihar, where Gandhi praised the Supreme Court on its decision to cancel electoral bonds and promised to conduct a financial survey across the country if voted to power in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.

The Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra arrived in Bihar days after Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, who was at the forefront of the Indian National Development Inclusive Alliance, an alliance of opposition parties formed to take on the BJP at the Centre, quit the Mahagathbandhan (Grand Alliance). And again joined hands with the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance, ANI reported.
