The Mahagatbandhan in Bihar faces turmoil as the entry of Rajesh Ranjan, known as Pappu Yadav, into the Congress sparks disputes over seat allocation. The RJD, a key constituent, refuses to yield the Purnia Lok Sabha seat to Yadav, threatening to go solo if the decision isn’t reversed by Thursday evening. Despite Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra’s involvement, tensions persist. Pappu Yadav, with RJD’s initial consent, insists on contesting from Purnia, known for its significant Muslim and Yadav voter base. Moreover, the CPI(ML) stakes claim to the Siwan constituency, adding to the alliance’s challenges.
