RJD Leader Accuses Sanjay Yadav of Selling Election Ticket
Madan Shah claimed that he was denied candidature because he refused to pay money to purchase the ticket. In a direct attack, he has accused the Rajya Sabha MP, Sanjay Yadav, saying that the MP had sold the ticket against the cash and that the seat of Madhuban was given to Dr Santosh Kushwaha.
“The party has neglected honest and hard-working workers such as me. They are now focusing on those with open pockets,” said Shah.
In a different video, Shah is observed trying to run after the car belonging to Lalu Prasad Yadav as he reaches his house in Patna. Law and order later had to be restored as security guards were compelled to kick Shah out of the premises.
