Patna: Ahead of the vote counting for the Lok Sabha elections, Pappu Yadav, an independent candidate from Bihar's Purnia constituency, issued a warning about potential unrest if the electoral process is compromised. Yadav, a prominent political figure in Bihar, emphasized the gravity of ensuring a transparent vote count.
In a statement made on the eve of the counting, Yadav called on his supporters to be prepared for any outcome. "If democracy is murdered, there will be a Mahabharata war," he declared, urging every worker to come prepared to sacrifice themselves for the cause of democracy. "To save democracy in Bihar and Purnia, every worker will have to come tomorrow prepared to die," he stated emphatically.
He further appealed to the candidates and workers of the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) to fully cooperate and ensure that the vote counting process remains transparent. "Each of our workers should come to Bihar and Purnia prepared to die. There will be a shroud on every forehead. All the candidates and workers of the INDIA alliance should save democracy," Yadav asserted. "If democracy is murdered forcefully, there will be a Mahabharata war."
Pappu Yadav, whose real name is Rajesh Ranjan, is one of Bihar's most influential political figures. He has served as a Member of Parliament (MP) five times, beginning his tenure in 1991. Yadav subsequently won parliamentary seats in 1996, 1999, and 2014. He was also recognized as the best-performing MP in 2015.
