Patna : Pro-Mandal Commission intellectuals on Sunday vowed to defeat candidates of JD(U)-RJD alliance in the Bihar Assembly elections scheduled in September-October this year and make all-out efforts to ensure victory of Jan Adhikar Party (JAP) and Hindustani Awam Morcha (Secular).

At a meeting organised under the aegis of ‘Mandal Vichar Manch’ at the residence of former MP Ranjan Yadav, a one time close associate of RJD chief Lalu Prasad and Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, several former ministers, parliamentarians, legislators, professors, doctors and high -ranking officials from all over the state participated.

JAP leader and rebel RJD MP Rajesh Ranjan alias Pappu Yadav and several leaders from HAM (Secular), floated by former Bihar Chief Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi, were also present on the occasion. “This was a meeting of people who believe in social justice and secularism. The poor belonging to Mandal Parivar did not receive the benefits which they should have got during the 15-year-reign of Prasad and 10 years of Kumar. We discussed this and decided to make efforts to defeat the candidates of JD(U)-RJD and ensure the victory of JAP and HAM (Secular),” Ranjan Yadav told media persons.

Speaking on the occasion Pappu Yadav accused Prasad and Kumar of insulting the Mahadalits, Yadavs and minorities in the state.

“Altogether 32,000 Yadavs died during the reign of Prasad and Kumar. I know about these things and there should be a CBI probe into this,” he alleged.

Pappu, Lok Sabha member from Madhepura, also alleged that Kumar was against the minorities and claimed he had removed all ministers belonging to the minority community from his cabinet be it Jamshed Ashraf, Parveen Amanullah or Shahid Ali Khan.

JAMSHEDPUR: Jharkhand Vikas Morcha (Prajatantrik) president Babulal Marandi on Sunday said his party will not contest the Assembly polls in Bihar, due later this year, but shall support Chief Minister Nitish Kumar. “We will not contest the Assembly polls in Bihar but certainly support Chief Minister Nitish Kumar to defeat the communal forces,” Marandi, a former Jharkhand Chief Minister told reporters, showering praise on the senior JD(U) leader. Marandi, who was here to launch his party’s ‘Nyay Yatra’, said if asked by Kumar JVM leaders will actively take part in campaigning for the Bihar chief minister. “He (Kumar) is one of the top politicians of the country. He is not in politics to extend benefit to his family or himself but for the cause of the nation,” he said adding that Kumar had never embroiled in any controversy. Bihar has earned its due recognition in the world due to his good work, he said while pulling up BJP for indulging in politics of division for political gain.
