From Nepal to the US: Pappu Yadav Holds Modi Accountable for Bihar’s Crisis

Pappu Yadav, a Member of Parliament from Purnia, leveled a scathing rebuke at Prime Minister Narendra Modi as the latter prepared for a high‑profile tour of Bihar. Yadav cited the prime minister’s recent trips to Nepal, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Israel and the United States, sarcastically noting that "the governments in those nations fell" after his visits.

The congress MP used the platform to spotlight Bihar’s ongoing flood emergency, which, according to official estimates, has impacted 5.6 million residents. He pointed out that despite the magnitude of the calamity, the centre has not issued a single tweet, a press release or any financial aid for the displaced families.

Yadav also raised the plight of Bihar’s sugar mills, alleging that the central government has offered no clarity on the sector’s future despite its importance to the state’s rural economy. He warned that superficial tours will not alleviate the hardships of flood‑stricken citizens or revive a dormant sugar industry.

In a surprising turn, Yadav praised Sonia Gandhi’s recently released book, describing it as a tribute to Indian cultural heritage, women’s empowerment and the visionary ideals of leaders like Indira Gandhi. He concluded by demanding that the Prime Minister address these pressing issues with concrete policies rather than ceremonial visits.
