BJP has finished Nitish Kumar physically and mentally: Pappu Yadav

Assembly election is around the corner, being a Lok Sabha member You seem to be very active in Bihar polls, why?

I couldn’t understand this. I don’t think political and social people have boundaries or commitments within which to be constrained. I was a parliamentary board member in Janata Dal, General Secretary in Ram Vilas Paswan jiI was the state president of Samajwadi Party (SP), contested Assembly elections in Bihar twice on Indian Federal Democratic Party (IFDP) ticket and Jan Adhikar Party (JAP). Whenever there is an election in Punjab, I go there for the people of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. I also campaigned in the Delhi elections and Bihar is my home. Pappu Yadav is known as the son and servant of Bihar. I am an important voice of Bihar.

Sometimes you are seen with Rahul Gandhi, sometimes with Tejashwi Yadav and sometimes with PM Narendra Modi stage, are you with NDA or India Bloc?

I stand with Rahul Gandhi’s ideology jiMy association is with the Congress Party. I have the blessing of Rahul Gandhi ji and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra ji. Their ideology is important to me. I also work for the Congress Party in Jharkhand and Delhi. If the Prime Minister was coming to my parliamentary constituency (Purnea), I had to attend as part of the protocol. Because of me, Vande Bharat and Amrit Bharat Train flagged. I am known for my progress. He is not the chief minister of the BJP; He is the prime minister of the country. You’re just making everything political.

You are talking about protocol, so was it part of the protocol that you were not allowed to board the Rahul Gandhi vehicle in Patna?

I was busy with Bihar Bandh since morning and my name was not in the list with Security Personnel. You people are making this an issue unnecessarily. You are free to make your own stories, Pappu Yadav does not die for name and stage. The people of Bihar elected me as their MP six times. Even though I was humiliated, I don’t feel anything, the most important thing for me is the self-respect of the people of Bihar.

An independent MP, has the Congress accepted you?

I am in the Congress party and my Jan Adhikar Party (JAP) was merged with the Congress Party in the presence of Priyanka ji So where is the problem that Congress accepted me? I belong to the ideology of the Congress party and spent a month and a half in Jharkhand for the Congress. I held public meetings for every Congress candidate in the Delhi elections, Punjab and Maharashtra elections.

You donate a lot; People want to know where you got this money from?

I have no problem saying that I am doing dacoity and bringing the money to donate but what about the politicians who became millionaires after looting the money of the people of Bihar? Do you think I belong to a poor family? My family members settled in the USA. Most of my family members and friends are millionaires and they donate to me because be it floods, crime, cyclones, accidents or any misery to poor people in crisis.

Do you want to see Tejashwi Yadav as Bihar Chief Minister?

How important is it whether I want it or not? I study ideology and work on the struggles and problems raised by my leader. Currently, Prime Minister and Deputy Chief Minister are not the issue for Bihar. The problem is Rahul Gandhi ji The caste census in Bihar, which should have been taken over en masse by the Alliance for the Protection of Constitution and Poverty, has grown like vote theft. We need to talk about the problems right now. Once the people of Bihar give a victory, the CM and his deputy will be elected by the MLAs.

How do you see Prashant Kishor in these Assembly elections?

Everyone has the right to engage in politics; They come and wrap their luggage. He first did a stint with the Congress party in Amethi, then ran for Modi ji. When she walked away from there, then she came to Nitish ji and became a leader named Nitish ji Like his father and his right hand. Then it went to YS Jagan Mohan Reddy followed by Mamata Banerjee, then again it went to the Congress of Khat Rally (COT rally) which failed and later moved to Captain Amrendra Singh in Punjab; Then he worked for Uddhav Thackeray and Arvind Kejriwal. Today he is making allegations against many politicians, he should first answer from where he got the black money.

You always say that CM should be from extreme backward class (EBC) or Dalit.

I have been saying this for a long time, EBC, SC, OBC and minority leaders. My leader (read Rahul Gandhi) says they should get their share in proportion to their population. I will stick to the statement that the social structure and political scenario of Bihar is for EBC, OBC and SC. Who would be CM, it would be from EBC, SC or OBC.

What is your take on Bihar CM Nitish Kumar, who has led the state for the last 20 years?

I see Bihar CM as a good and honest man, but the BJP has finished him off physically and mentally. He was tortured a lot by the BJP. I respect him very much, but he is not in a position to rule the state as prime minister at the moment. The most important thing is that only bureaucrats run the government, since he is the prime minister. In democracy, it is not good to give all the powers to the bureaucracy.

Do you think the BJP will allow him to continue as Bihar CM if voted to power?

I don’t know what the BJP will do because as a political party they are on the verge of collapse in Bihar. Without Nitish jiThe BJP has no identity in Bihar. If the BJP will end Nitish jiI don’t think the BJP can succeed.

What is your take on Chirag Paswan?

There must be clarity in everything and I cannot comment on anyone but he inherited politics. Even though he inherited politics, he must choose his own path. The politics of Bihar and Uttar Pradesh are stylish and dynamic, unlike walking on crutches. It can’t be like this where you stay in government and speak against it. He dreams of becoming something, then goes here and there. Arrogance will not work for any Yuvraj who inherits politics. They need to destroy arrogance.
