JD(U) rebel joins JAP

Updated on : Oct 2,2015

Jan Adhikar Party floated by Madhepura MP Pappu Yadav has fielded JD(U) rebel Abu Kaiser from Nath Nagar constituency. In 2014 Lok Sabha polls, Kaiser had quit the RJD and contested from Bhagalpur constituency on the JD(U) ticket. He was apparently hoping to get the ticket of the grand alliance from any seat in Bhagalpur or Banka district but was left disappointed. Hence, Kaiser shifted his loyalty to Pappu Yadav's Jan Adhikar Party which is part of the Third Front led by Mulayam Singh Yadav.
