Pappu Yadav, the Congress candidate for Purnia Lok Sabha seat, has thrown his hat in the ring as an Independent candidate, queering the pitch for ally RJD. He criticized Tejashwi Prasad Yadav for his impatience and lack of patience, saying that he had not inherited this quality from his father, Lalu Prasad. Yadav made these remarks in response to queries from journalists who drew his attention to speeches by Yadav who has been campaigning intensively for the RJD candidate Bima Bharti. In a rally on Monday, Tejashwi had said, “The choice is clearly between INDIA bloc or NDA. If you do not support Bima Bharti, you shall be deemed to be with the NDA.” A video clip of this remark has gone viral, with political commentators viewing the utterances as a sign of desperation on the part of Tejashwi, who is said to have played an instrumental role in stymying Pappu’s bid to contest from Purn’a as the INDIA bloc candidate. Pappu said, “Why does he get so impatient? It seems he has not inherited patience from his father.”
