In a surprising political turn, Pappu Yadav has expressed endorsement of RJD candidate Bima Bharti in the Rupauli assembly by-election. Once a contender in the Purnia Lok Sabha votes, Yadav has publicly apologized and requested voting on Bharti's behalf.
During a news conference on Monday, Pappu Yadav apologized to the people of Rupauli for any previous faults and promised to fight for the region's development. His call for support was genuine, imploring people to support their 'daughter' Bima Bharti. This support is a big shift, as Yadav recently defeated Bharti in Purnia.

Yadav's support for Bharti, characterized as consistent with Congress doctrine, came following Bharti's resignation, which resulted in the Rupauli by-election. Bharti's move from JDU to RJD, as well as her recent defeat in Purnia, have paved the way for a very contested by-election against Kaladhar Prasad Mandal of the JDU.
Pappu Yadav's endorsement of Bima Bharti adds a fresh aspect to the Rupauli by-election. His apologies and plea to electors represent an offensive that has the potential to impact the election final result, demonstrating the region's changing political relationships.
