Patna, September 5 – Upendra Kushwaha, the national president of Rashtriya Lok Morcha (RLM), has urged people to support his campaign called ‘Constitutional Rights – Delimitation Reform Maharally’. He emphasizes that this campaign is not just for Bihar but for all of North India, aiming for fair political representation in the upcoming delimitation process.
During a large rally at Miller High School ground in Patna, Kushwaha explained why the delimitation exercise scheduled for 2026 is so important. He said that parliamentary and assembly seats should reflect the actual population makeup. “We will keep fighting until our constitutional rights are recognized and the delimitation reforms are implemented,” he declared.
The rally saw support from thousands of workers coming from all 38 districts of Bihar. Kushwaha dismissed rumors that the event was just a political display aimed at gaining votes ahead of upcoming assembly elections. “If I wanted to show strength in Patna, even Gandhi Maidan would be too small,” he said. “This rally is about constitutional rights and reforms, not election politics.”
Kushwaha paid tribute to socialist leader Jagdev Prasad, emphasizing that his mission continues to stand for the marginalized and exploited sections of society for whom he dedicated his life. “Bihar’s people have always protected my honor, and I am confident they will continue to do so,” he added.
He also highlighted his past efforts on various public issues. For example, many of his education reform demands have been accepted by Bihar’s Chief Minister Nitish Kumar. Additionally, four key demands from his Valmikinagar charter — including increasing the student credit limit from Rs 4 lakh to Rs 10 lakh and pushing for a caste census — have been fulfilled.
Kushwaha claimed credit for leading initiatives like filling judicial vacancies through open exams, moving away from the collegium system, a step that the President has now also supported.
Without naming anyone directly, Kushwaha criticized opposition leaders by saying, “Dancing on the banks of the Ganga doesn’t make you a Chief Minister. If that were true, India’s biggest dancer would be Prime Minister.” Still, he praised the NDA government at both the Centre and in Bihar for working on issues that matter to the public, stating they enjoy popular support.
This rally underscores Kushwaha’s call for fairer representation and constitutional reforms, with people from across Bihar rallying behind his campaign for a stronger North India.
