Bima Bharti has left JDU and joined RJD. At the same time, now it has been told from Pappu Yadav’s office that the Congress leader will file nomination from Purnia seat on April 2. Now everyone’s eyes are on what stand the Congress high command takes when Pappu Yadav files nomination from Purnia Lok Sabha seat.

Earlier on Thursday, Pappu Yadav had said that he welcomes the decision of the Congress leadership to strengthen the grand alliance in Bihar, but had also said that the Congress flag will wave in Purnia. Pappu Yadav had also said that his only goal is that Congress wins all the 40 Lok Sabha seats in Bihar.
At the same time, on Thursday night itself, the news came that after Tejashwi Yadav’s visit to Delhi, a decision has been taken on the distribution of seats in the Grand Alliance. Under this distribution, RJD has given 9 Lok Sabha seats to Congress in Bihar. Purnia’s name was not in these 9 Lok Sabha seats. Now Pappu Yadav has set his sights on contesting elections from here. In such a situation, it remains to be seen whether the Congress leadership stands with him and strongly demands taking over Purnia seat from RJD, or Pappu Yadav is ultimately forced to support Bima Bharti.
