As the Lok Sabha elections approach, Bihar's political landscape is witnessing a remarkable shift. The integration of Pappu Yadav's Jan Adhikar Party into the Congress has been confirmed. This political development has reportedly caused displeasure for Bihar Congress President Akhilesh Singh. Bihar in-charge Mohan Prakash has called a meeting to appease his concerns. It is being said that Akhilesh Prasad Singh was unaware of Pappu Yadav joining the Congress, a move that he has opposed in the past.
Congress leader Pawan Kheda states, 'Jan Adhikar Party' and Pappu Yadav need no introduction. Pappu Yadav, a prominent leader, is impressed by the leadership, policies, and direction of the Congress Party and is joining forces with them. His merger of the 'Jan Adhikar Party' into Congress is not just ordinary; it is historic.
Following the merger with Congress, Pappu Yadav articulated on social media platform X that he is committed to Congress for life. His goal is to see Rahul Gandhi as Prime Minister, providing justice for youth, farmers, women, and the underprivileged segments of society.
'Our shared ideologies with Congress'
Post-merger, Pappu Yadav proclaims their party is known for service, justice, and struggle, and the Congress ideology always energizes them. They respect every community without discrimination and defend the ideals of every person. He reminisces that even at this age, Mallikarjun Kharge continues his battle. Whenever I see Mallikarjun Kharge, he reminds me of Babu Veer Kunwar Singh. He mentions growing up witnessing the struggles of Mohan Prakash and appreciating his philosophical guidance. 'Our party and family are steeped in Congress ideology,' he says.
