Lok Sabha elections: A month ahead of Lok Sabha Elections 2024, Pappu Yadav on Wednesday merged his Jan Adhikar Party with the Congress. After joining, Pappu Yadav said that Rahul Gandhi is the leader who has struggled a lot.
"... Since my childhood, I've seen Mohan Prakash Ji struggle and I've received his blessings all my life. He used to be a strong voice back then and now he is an ideology for me. We have always related to the Congress ideology..," Yadav said.
"Rahul Gandhi has struggled the most in this world, especially at a time when digital media has taken over most of the hard work, he walked for more than 4000 km in extreme temperatures... The respect which I have received and the faith put in me and my party by Rahul and Priyanka Gandhi are enough to keep me going... Rahul Gandhi has awakened the consciousness of 130 crore people of India..," he added.
Pappu Yadav on Tuesday evening met RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav and party leader Tejashwi Yadav. Pappu Yadav said, "Lalu Yadav and I don't have political relations, it is completely an emotional tie. Yesterday, all of us sat down together. Our effort is to stop the BJP in Seemanchal and Mithilanchal at any cost."
"Tejashwi Yadav worked for 17 months and built trust, Rahul Gandhi won hearts and gave hope to people...Together, we will win not just the 2024 (Lok Sabha Elections) but also 2025 (Bihar Assembly Elections). Purnea doesn't matter, what matters is to stop the BJP and protect the identity & ideology of the weaker sections. We will fight together, together with the Congress leadership. The one who won the heart of this country, will be the PM of this country," he said.
