Patna: Lok Sabha member Rajesh Ranjan, alias Pappu Yadav, who was expelled by the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) for six years for anti-party activities, on Sunday launched a new political outfit, called Jan Kranti Adhikar Morcha.
"We have decided to launch a new political outfit for a third alternative in Bihar's politics," Pappu Yadav, the Lok Sabha member from Madhepura, said in Patna.
He said the new party would be different from Lalu Prasad's Rashtriya Janata Dal and the Janata Dal-United of Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar.
Earlier this month, former chief minister Jitan Ram Manjhi had also launched his new party, the Hindustan Awami Morcha, which he said will contest all 243 assembly seats in the coming polls.
