Former Bihar MP Rajesh Ranjan, popularly known as Pappu Yadav, has stirred controversy by filing his nomination from Purnea as an independent candidate after being denied a ticket by the Congress party. Expressing deep dismay, Pappu Yadav questioned the decision of the Congress leadership, wondering aloud what shortcomings led to his repeated denial of a ticket.
Before filing his nomination, Pappu Yadav expressed his sadness and confusion. He asked why the Congress leaders kept telling him to run from other places like Madhepura or Supaul instead of Purnea. He remembers how he won in Purnea three times before. He believes that people in Purnea have always supported him, no matter their background.
Even though he feels let down by the Congress, Pappu Yadav promises to continue supporting his people. He thinks the decision is unfair but hopes to make a difference as an independent candidate.
