==Gang war between Jawahar and Karwariya family==
After he was elected MLA, Jawahar Yadav became involved in sand mining contracts in the Ganga-Yamuna river basin, which led to disputes with the Karwariya family, who were already active in the Morang sand business.<ref name="cite_note-3" /><ref name="cite_note-4" /> Conflicts escalated, including reports of threats and armed confrontations. A meeting was reportedly held to agree not to interfere in each other's contracts, but disputes continued.<ref>{{Cite web |title=जब जवाहर पंडित ने करवरिया बंधुओं के सीने पर रायफल तान दी थी |url=https://m.thelallantop.com/article/news-detail/625d2a3033907fa4843d35fe |access-date=2023-02-25 |website=m.thelallantop.com|date=13 November 2019 }}</ref> After the dissolution of the Legislative Assembly in 1996, Jawahar Yadav's security as an MLA became lax, although he requested the government to increase his security several times, but the government did not pay heed.
