Pappu Yadav: Independent MP from Purnia Pappu Yadav has fallen short of words after the staggering loss of West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and Trinamool Congress (TMC) to the Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP) in the recently concluded state assembly elections.
Yadav had claimed that he would quit active politics and end his social services if the Narendra Modi led party wins the West Bengal elections. Netizens are now prompting the Purnia MP to uphold this commitment and say goodbye to politics.
Pappu Yadav-Turn Of Events
Pappu Yadav had confidently claimed that if the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, managed to defeat West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and her Trinamool Congress (TMC), he would quit active politics altogether. Yadav went a step ahead and said that he would also step away from his social service initiatives.
At the time, the statement may have seemed like just another political soundbite in the heat of election season. Today, however, it has turned into a litmus test of political accountability.
