Pappu Yadav Refutes Lobbying Allegations Amid Bihar Polls Chaos

Independent MP Pappu Yadav has denied allegations of lobbying for another candidate from Bihar's Kasba constituency. Refuting claims from Bihar Congress, Yadav emphasized the Congress's adherence to principles and discipline. Confusion persists in the Mahagathbandhan alliance with unresolved seat-sharing issues ahead of the upcoming Bihar assembly elections.

Amid the brewing storm in Bihar's political scenario, Independent MP Pappu Yadav has quashed assertions that he is lobbying for a candidate in the Kasba constituency. Denying the allegations from Bihar Congress officials, Yadav highlighted the party's commitment to principles and discipline.

Yadav spoke out against claims that he influenced candidate selection, citing Congress's historical discomfort with sitting Kasba MLA Md Afaque Alam due to past cross-voting incidents. Instead, Congress has chosen Md Irfan Alam as its candidate, focusing on financially marginalized workers for its tickets.

The Mahagathbandhan alliance struggles with internal discord, unable to finalize a seat-sharing agreement. As the Bihar assembly polls approach, the uncertainty looms over the opposition's strategy, exacerbated by separate announcements from constituent parties like the JMM opting to contest solo.
