NEW DELHI: Former RJD candidate broke down outside the residence of RJD chief and former
Bihar chief minister
Lalu Prasad Yadav on Saturday.
Speaking to the media, Shah alleged that he was promised a ticket for the Bihar Assembly Elections 2025 by Lalu Prasad Yadav.
However, he claimed that RJD leader Sanjay Yadav demanded Rs 2.7 crore from him. When he refused to pay, Shah said, the party ticket was handed over to another candidate.
"Lalu Prasad Yadav promised to give me a ticket for the Bihar Assembly Elections 2025. RJD leader Sanjay Yadav had demanded Rs 2.7 crore, and when I refused to pay, the party ticket was given to someone else, " said Madan Shah.
Madan Shah tears his clothes, breaks down, falls to the ground and says, "They will not form the government; Tejashwi is very arrogant, doesn't meet people. They are giving away tickets. Sanjay Yadav is doing all this. I have come here to die. Lalu Yadav is my Guru. He had said that he would give me a ticket, they gave a ticket to Santosh Kushwaha, a BJP agent."
He added "In 2020, Lalu ji called me to Ranchi and got a survey done regarding the population of Teli community, and that Madan Shah will defeat Randhir Singh from Madhuban constituency. Tejashwi ji and Lalu ji had called me, they had said that they will give me a ticket. I have been working for the party since the '90s. I am a poor man, I sold my land."
"They will not form the government; Tejashwi is very arrogant, doesn't meet people. They are giving away tickets. Sanjay Yadav is doing all this. I have come here to die. Lalu Yadav is my Guru." said Shah.
Polling for the Bihar elections will take place on November 6 and 11, with results scheduled for November 14.
With the election season underway, campaign activities have intensified, especially in constituencies going to the polls in the first phase.
