Voting on four Lok Sabha seats in Bihar in the first phase on April 19 was peaceful. Now there is election on five seats on 26th April. Of these, Purnia seat is the most disturbed. Violence can happen here anytime. The entire team of the District Election Office under the Election Commission is understanding this apprehension, but they are not sure where violence can occur. The reason is the strategy of Congress leader Rajesh Ranjan alias Pappu Yadav. Rashtriya Janata Dal workers, who were once in the news for rallies like oil pouring, lathi ghumavan, are maintaining peace under the leadership of Tejashwi Yadav, otherwise Pappu Yadav’s supporters are creating an atmosphere of fighting during every public meeting and even road show. . An incident has already happened on Tuesday night.
Blockade on Tejashwi Yadav’s convoy, long live Pappu Yadav
After the public meeting in Purnia on Tuesday night, Leader of Opposition and former Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav held a road show in support of RJD candidate Bima Bharti from the Grand Alliance. During the road show, as soon as Tejashwi Yadav’s convoy reached RN Shah Chowk in Purnia, the supporters of independent candidate Pappu Yadav already present there started protesting by pelting stones at Tejashwi Yadav’s convoy. Also, Pappu Yadav started raising slogans of Zindabad. RJD worker Chhotu Yadav’s car was damaged in stone pelting. Many workers have been injured. If RJD workers had responded there, the atmosphere could have worsened. RJD leaders said that due to fear of defeat, Pappu Yadav is sending his supporters and pelting stones at former Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav, who has given him a job in Bihar. He said that this clearly shows that Pappu Yadav’s hooliganism has already started. If Pappu Yadav wins then hooliganism will increase further in Purnia. Former Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav’s 40 kilometer long road show started from Jalalgarh in Purnia and ended at Zero Mile and everywhere Pappu Yadav’s supporters were seen trying to instigate the people by raising slogans of their leader’s Zindabad.
Slogans are being raised in Tejashwi Yadav and CM Nitish’s program.
There is a possibility of violence breaking out in Purnia any time because the supporters of independent candidate Pappu Yadav are paying more attention to instigating the supporters of the leaders standing in front of them rather than campaigning at their own level. Slogans of Pappu Yadav Zindabad are being raised in every meeting of Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav. Tired of this sloganeering, Tejashwi Yadav, while talking about removing Pappu from the field, even said that either vote for India or else go and vote for NDA. Later, while handling the matter, he sought the blessings of the voters for RJD candidate Bima Bharti from Purnia, but during this entire address, some youth kept raising slogans in loud voice in favor of Pappu Yadav. Such sloganeering is happening in every program of Tejashwi. This also happened during the road show on Tuesday night. Pappu Yadav’s supporters are doing the same in Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s meeting. RJD-JDU leaders say that it seems that these slogans are being raised with some intention, on which the Election Commission should take cognizance.
