What’s inside:
This article discusses the recent political tensions between Congress and RJD in Bhagalpur, highlighting candidate nominations and allegations between party members.
In Bhagalpur, there’s some tension in the Grand Alliance, especially in the Kahalgaon assembly seat. Traditionally, this seat has been with Congress, but this time RJD has put forward Rajneesh Yadav as their candidate. In response, Congress has also decided to field Praveen Kushwaha. Rajneesh has already submitted his nomination while Praveen will do so on October 20. This has made the election contest quite exciting as both major parties go head-to-head.
The situation heated up when MP Pappu Yadav accused Rajneesh’s father, Sanjay Yadav, of being involved in illegal activities during a celebration for Praveen in Patna. Pappu chanted slogans like “Mafia run away, save Kahalgaon”. Rajneesh quickly responded, saying he wouldn’t tolerate baseless accusations against his father, regardless of who it comes from. He also reminded everyone of Pappu’s reputation in certain areas and emphasized that he is running for election to support Tejashwi Yadav’s chief ministerial ambitions.
Rajneesh Yadav expressed his displeasure with Congress for not respecting the alliance’s principles when they fielded their candidate. He pointed out that RJD had previously won the Bhagalpur Lok Sabha seat during the 2014 elections and stressed that Congress should have recognized this history. He also defended himself against claims of being an outsider, asserting that everyone knows his roots and experience in local politics.
Additionally, Rajneesh took aim at some internal party opponents who labeled him as an ‘imposed’ candidate. He criticized these individuals for switching loyalties between different parties for personal gain and mentioned that it is up to the public to decide the worthiness of such candidates. He believes that their actions will not reflect well in this election.
Rajneesh Yadav stated that his main focus is on tackling issues like unemployment and development in Kahalgaon. He highlighted that the local roads are in terrible condition despite past leadership and criticized the lack of proper use of CSR funds from NTPC. He is confident that the citizens will support Tejashwi Yadav for a better future and hopes to win his seat to contribute to this goal.
