New Delhi: Member of Parliament from Rashtriya Janata Dal Rajesh Ranjan alias Pappu Yadav had lashes out at the chief minister of Bihar Nitish Kumar on Wednesday.
He had accused the JD-U leader and his aides of working to “finish off” RJD and said he would quit the party if Lalu Prasad wishes so.
Pappu Yadav was against the move to remove Jitan Ram Manjhi as Bihar Chief Minister. He said he would send his resignation to the RJD Chief in a few days that can send it to the Speaker if he wants.
He said, “If Lalu ji thinks I won because of him and RJD then let me tell him that he had given tickets to so many people and they lost. If he feels hurt by me or thinks I have cheated him, I will send him my resignation from Lok Sabha membership after he is done with his daughter’s marriage. He can send it to the Lok Sabha Speaker.”
Ranjan has been in and out of Lalu’s party and enjoys considerable clout in parts of Bihar. His wife Ranjeet Ranajn won Lok Sabha election on Congress ticket from Bihar.
Ranjan while attacking Kumar said he has given plum portfolios to leaders who have been working overtime to finish Lalu’s career and party and senior RJD leader Abdul Bari Siddiqui also said the party was not consulted by Kumar about his ministry.
