Patna: Controversial Bihar MP Rajesh Ranjan alias Pappu Yadav Thursday filed his nomination from his home turf Madhepura and launched a veiled attack on the RJD, which had fielded him in 2014 polls but expelled him a year later.
"The people of Madhepura will once again bless this son of their soil and teach a lesson to those adamant on foisting an outsider upon them," Yadav told reporters in apparent reference to Sharad Yadav who will be contesting on RJD symbol from Madhepura.
The RJD has announced that Sharad Yadav will merge his Loktantrik Janata Dal (LJD) with it after elections.
Sharad Yadav hails from Jabalpur in Madhya Pradesh but has contested successfully from Madhepura several times.
Pappu Yadav also launched an indirect attack on RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav saying, "I wanted to be with the Grand Alliance but some people placed their personal egos above everything else."
The Madhepura MP, who has formed the Jan Adhikar Party (JAP) after being expelled from the RJD, had later tried to mend fences with Lalu Prasad's party but his entry into the Mahagathbandhan was vetoed by Tejashwi, who has emerged as the party's de facto leader in his father's absence.
