Purnia MP Pappu Yadav has publicly challenged Prime Minister Narendra Modi, demanding answers on flood assistance and the presence of Chinese-owned mills in Bihar before the leader's scheduled state visit.
Purnia Lok Sabha member Pappu Yadav raised a series of pointed questions directed at Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the run‑up to the premier's planned visit to Bihar. Yadav highlighted the lingering flood‑relief challenges faced by the state and asked the central government to clarify the status of assistance for affected districts.
He also drew attention to the operation of several Chinese-owned textile mills in Bihar, demanding transparency on foreign investment and its impact on local industry. Yadav suggested that the government's focus on overseas trips has left critical domestic issues unattended.
The remarks came during a press interaction in Purnia, where Yadav warned that repeated foreign tours have coincided with the collapse of state governments elsewhere, implying a need for greater accountability at the centre.
Modi's office has not yet issued a formal response, but officials are expected to brief the prime minister ahead of his itinerary, which includes meetings with state leaders and visits to flood‑hit regions.
Political analysts say the exchange underscores growing pressure on the central government to address regional grievances before high‑profile visits, especially in a state that has been grappling with severe monsoon damage.
