Meet Pappu Yadav: Independent candidate from Bihar's Purnia with 41 criminal cases

Bihar strongman Rajesh Ranjan alias Pappu Yadav is set to fight Lok Sabha elections from Purnia. Yadav, who is a five-time MP has about 41 criminal cases lodged against him.

He had recently merged his Jan Adhikar Party with the Congress in hope of getting party’s ticket from Purnia. But he did not get the ticket after a strong opposition from Congress' ally RJD. Following this, he filed his nomination as an Independent candidate.

The state Congress has maintained that it will strongly back the candidature of the RJD candidate in the Purnia seat. "The party does not support his (Pappu’s) candidature," said Bihar Congress chief Akhilesh Prasad Singh.

Now, Purnea is all set to witness a triangular contest, with Pappu Yadav contesting against RJD's Beema Bharati and JDU's Santosh Kumar Kushwaha.
