‘Madly in love with Rahul, Sonia': MP Pappu Yadav says Congress never accepted him
Speaking exclusively with ANI, Pappu Yadav, who has a stronghold on Seemanchal region, emphasised that Congress needs a strong leadership in Bihar. Notably, Yadav had won the last Lok Sabha polls from Bihar' Purnea as an Independent candidate after the Congress denied him the ticket and gave the seat to its alliance partner RJD. New Delhi: Stating 'madly in love with Rahul Ji, Sonia Ji,' Independent MP Pappu Yadav said as he is 'waiting' for Congress to make a move before the Bihar Assembly polls later this year as he feels that the party has 'never accepted him.' 'Congress need a strong leadership. Congress has never accepted me in Bihar till today.' Pappu Yadav told ANI. When asked why Congress has not accepted him, Pappu Yadav said, 'That is only they know. They (Congress) are the kings.' However,he said, 'I am waiting for them (Congress). I am madly in love with Rahul Ji, Sonia Ji.' Yadav told ANI that he feels that there are two reasons for his independent struggle into the Bihar politics. 'I have been kicked a lot in politics. My two crimes, as I see them. The first is that I was born 30 years later than Ram Vilas Paswan Ji, Nitish Kumar Ji, and Lalu Yadav. The biggest problem is that I won't speak lie. In truth, even if I compromise, I would do 20-30 per cent. My personality does not match with big parties,' Pappu Yadav said. Partially blaming RJD chief Lalu Yadav, the Purnea MP said, 'The problem for me is that Lalu Yadav ji is in the alliance. I don't know what problem he has with me, even though I have always respected him. I always stood by him. What does he want? I do not know.' On being asked whether Lalu Yadav holds influence on Rahul Gandhi in Bihar, Pappu Yadav said, 'I believe Rahul Gandhi ji listens to everyone but does what he wants.' Speaking about him being stopped from onboarding the van during the Bihar Bandh rally on June 9, Pappu Yadav dismissed the claims of being deliberately snubbed. He said, 'The public pushed me to go on the stage and I fell while stepping onto it.' Pappu Yadav along with Congress leader and National Students' Union of India (NSUI) national incharge Kanhaiya Kumar on July 9 were snubbed by security from boarding a van during the Mahagathbandhan protest against electoral roll revision in poll-bound Bihar. The incident occurred when both leaders attempted to board the van carrying Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav, but were stopped by security guards. He also added, 'I will not share the stage in this life with the Yuvraj of any party who is arrogant.' When asked to clarify who he referred to as 'Yuvraj', Yadav responded, 'Whosoever has the backup of family background and is arrogant about it. Whosoever takes forward their political career with father's legacy… any party leader who doesn't know about the struggle.' Bihar Assembly elections are expected to be held later this year in October or November; however, the Election Commission of India (ECI) has not announced an official date.

In blow to Lalu, SC refuses to stay trials in land-for jobs cases
Lalu Yadav NEW DELHI: Ahead of the Bihar assembly elections , RJD leader Lalu Prasad suffered a setback on Friday with SC declining to stay ongoing trial proceedings against him in land-for-job 'scam' cases, in which CBI charge-sheeted him for allegedly securing plots of land from those who got jobs in the railways during 2004-09 when he was railway minister. When senior advocate Kapil Sibal attempted to discredit the cases against Prasad, lodged in 2022 after more than a decade of the alleged 'scam', by terming it as political vendetta, additional solicitor general S V Raju told a bench of Justices M M Sundresh and N Kotiswar Singh that Prasad's petition for quashing of FIRs in the cases is still pending in the Delhi HC and that the former railway minister has challenged an interim order of HC. Though Sibal maintained with vehemence that 'it is the most unfortunate case' and accused CBI of starting a probe without mandatory sanction under section 17-A of the Prevention of Corruption Act, the bench said, 'We will not stay the trial. However, we can direct the trial court to dispense with Prasad's personal presence. Let HC decide the main issue.' After investigations, CBI on June 7 last year filed the third and final chargesheet before a special court in Delhi against Prasad, his wife Rabri Devi, son Tej Pratap Yadav and daughter Hema Yadav, and others. The case against Prasad and his family members is related to appointments made to Group D positions in 11 Railway Zones between 2004 and 2009.

Supreme Court Setback For Lalu Yadav Ahead Of Bihar Elections
New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Friday refused to entertain Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad Yadav's plea against the Delhi High Court's refusal to stay trial court proceedings against him in the land-for-jobs scam case. The top court today said that it is not inclined to interfere with the matter at this stage. A Bench Of Justices MM Sunderesh and N Koteshwar Singh said that "We are not inclined to interfere except by observing that at the time of disposing the final matter the observation made in the impugned order will not stand in the way." The bench observed that "Considering the fact and circumstances of the case we are inclined to pass further order to the effect that he may not be personally present and therefore his appearance is dispensed with. We request the High Court to expedite the hearing. Disposed of accordingly." Mr Yadav has moved the Supreme Court against the Delhi High Court order which had refused to stay CBI proceedings against him in the land-for-jobs corruption case in June this year. Lalu Yadav has challenged that high court order in the top court. A Bench of Justice Ravinder Dudeja had dismissed the application for stay of proceedings and held that there were no compelling reasons warranting judicial interference at the interim stage, especially in light of the pending adjudication before the Supreme Court on the core issue of applicability of Section 17-A PC Act. What is Land-For-Jobs case? It is alleged that the Group-D appointments made in the West Central Zone of the Indian Railway based in Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh, during Lalu Yadav's tenure as the rail minister between 2004 and 2009 were allegedly in return for land parcels gifted or transferred by the recruits in the name of the RJD supremo's family members or associates. The case was registered on May 18, 2022 against Mr Yadav and others, including his wife, two daughters, unidentified public officials and private persons. In his petition in the high court, Lalu Yadav had sought the quashing of the FIR as well as the three chargesheets filed in 2022, 2023 and 2024 and the consequential orders of cognisance. It was his argument that the FIR was lodged in 2022, that is, almost after a delay of 14 years, despite the CBI's initial enquiries and investigations being closed after the filing of the closure report before the competent court.

The former chief minister said the FIR was lodged in 2022 -- almost a 14-year delay -- despite the CBI's initial enquiries and investigations being closed after filing of closure report before the competent court. "Initiation of the fresh investigation in the concealment of the previous investigations and its closure reports is nothing but an abuse of the process of law," it said. The petitioner argued he was being made to suffer through an "illegal, motivated investigation" in violation of his fundamental right to a fair investigation. "Both, the initiation of the present enquiries and investigations are non est as both have been initiated without a mandatory approval under Section 17A of the PC Act. Without such approval, any enquiry/inquiry/investigation undertaken would be void ab initio," the plea added. Yadav called it a scenario of "regime revenge and political vendetta" as the initiation of investigation without such approval vitiated the entire proceedings since inception with the being a "jurisdictional error".
