In his post, he wrote: "Young friends of Bihar, I am coming to Begusarai on 7th April, to walk shoulder to shoulder with you in the 'Stop Migration, Give Jobs' Yatra. The aim is to make the entire world see the sentiments of the youth of Bihar, their struggle, their suffering. You too come wearing a White T-Shirt, ask questions, raise your voice - to put pressure on the government for your rights, to remove it.

Finally some attention to Bihar's youth migration crisis! This padyatra is much needed 👏 Hope it leads to concrete policy changes, not just political posturing.

Interesting alliance between Rahul Gandhi and Kanhaiya Kumar. Two leaders who understand youth issues well. The white t-shirt movement could become a powerful symbol!

While I appreciate the focus on migration, I wish politicians would come with job creation plans rather than just marches. Bihar needs industries, not just slogans.

My brother had to migrate to Bangalore last year. Glad someone is talking about this issue! Hope this starts a national conversation about regional employment disparities.

The timing before elections is suspicious, but the cause is genuine. Bihar's youth deserve better opportunities in their home state. Let's see if this translates into real change.

Love the white t-shirt idea! Simple but powerful visual. Hope lots of students turn up to make their voices heard 💪 The Constitution seminar sounds important too.
