Purnea Lok Sabha MP Rajesh Ranjan, known as Pappu Yadav, criticized Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and other leaders, alleging that he is being targeted with multiple cases to silence him. Despite being granted bail in a 31-year-old case, he was sent to judicial custody in two other cases, including one for an alleged Model Code of Conduct violation and another for obstructing officials. Yadav expressed disappointment, stating that the current government does not reflect the leadership he once respected.
Yadav emphasized that he never sought personal favors during Nitish Kumar’s tenure and questioned the motives behind the recent legal actions against him. He highlighted his history of advocating for various issues, including governance failures and student welfare, suggesting a pattern of personal vendetta. The MP underscored his commitment to fighting for the rights and safety of Bihar’s citizens, particularly women and students.
Yadav criticized the timing of the cases, pointing out that he had shared platforms with top leaders without any issues previously. He stressed that the charges against him are related to protests and the code of conduct, not criminal activities. Expressing confidence in the judicial system, Yadav vowed to escalate his fight to the Supreme Court if needed, asserting the supremacy of the people and the courts over the government.
The MP thanked opposition leaders and supporters from various political parties for their solidarity during what he described as a challenging period. He reaffirmed his dedication to truth and justice, pledging to continue his advocacy for the NEET aspirant and the welfare of women in Bihar. Yadav concluded by reiterating his unwavering commitment to his principles and the cause of justice.
