Pappu Yadav ready to join Cong if needed

Bihar MP Pappu Yadav on Sunday expressed his wish to contest the Lok Sabha election on a Congress ticket.

"If the Congress leadership wants my support then I will definitely join the party. It is important to save our country and humanity, and hence, all the people and the parties with the same ideology should join hands. The Congress leadership has to decide now," Rajesh Ranjan, who is popularly known as Pappu Yadav, told PTI.

When asked if he would merge his Jan Adhikar Party with the Congress, Yadav said ideology surpasses everything. "In these circumstances when the country is in such a great crisis, whatever order the Congress leadership will give, we will follow."
Asked about his strategy if Sharad Yadav contests from Madhepura in the Lok Sabha election, Pappu Yadav said: "Whatever is necessary in the interest of coalition, I will do that."
