Patna: Interestingly, Purnia Independent MP, Pappu Yadav is in trouble now, with family and political supporters turning their backs upon him due to a ‘hit threat’ issued by the gaoled gangster Lawrence Bishnoi. His wife, Congress MP Ranjeeta Ranjan, has disowned Yadav, said that she and her children have no relations with Yadav. Even this has raised public awareness with myriad problems that Yadav has to fight with the antagonisms – the marital discord that is now too apparent to hide.
The love birds met way back in nineties when Pappu Yadav had slowly but successfully established himself as the political overlord of Bihar. When Yadav was gaoled in 1992 over political charges, it was his acquaintance with Vicky, who introduced him to Ranjeeta’s family. This started with Yadav developing an interest in Ranjeeta after seeing a family photo where Ranjeeta was a national and International Tennis player studying at Magadh College in Patna.
Yadav had been chasing Ranjeeta for one and a half years and attended most of her matches without the woman knowing his intentions. At last, taking his gallant heart to his lips, he confessed his affection on her but Ranjeeta not interested in marrying him as she was busy for her tennis career.
Family Feud – A love that conquered all
Even after being declined the first time Yadav did not give up on Vimala. A more comprehensible problem arose from a deep into the serious relationship when a conflict occurred between religious and cultural difference: Ranjeeta was a Sikh girl while Yadav represented the Yadav community. But Pappu Yadav did manage to convince both the families, this was helped by Congress MP S.S Ahluwalia who acted as a mediator between the two families of the couple. It took them long time to get married, they tied the knot in 1994 based on Sikhs’ customs, nevertheless this event was crucial in their relationships’ development.
The marriage of Ranjeeta and Puneet were no devoid of a episode; enroute from Punjab to Purnia by a private charter, it got lost for some time creating merry among the POTA wise political personalities for the marriage ceremony. But the plane arrived safely to its destination, but further in the years their marriage will be proven to have some bumps.
The First Public Split after Four Decades of Private Strife
Pappu Yadav and Ranjeeta Ranjan have been supporting the other for almost three decades despite infighting. What is more, when Ranjeeta also ventured into political arena herself, there were news reports about growing coldness between the two, but they did try to hide this fact, overall. And even when Ranjeeta left Yadav with their children two years back there was no evidence they were on the outs.
Ranjeeta Ranjan however has how declared her stand and said it in public domain that she has been residing separately with children for over two years now. This was said after Lawrence Bishnoi, the man currently imprisoned at Sabarmati Gaol threatened Pappu Yadav. Ranjeeta further said that she does not pay heed to the threat given by Bishnoi and really concern about the matter.
This is the first time people came to know about the problems that the couple had in their married life which has added another twist to the storey as Pappu Yadav tries to go through his political and personal crisis during this period.
