In a forceful statement, Pappu Yadav warned that the floods sweeping across Bihar are a result of decades‑long negligence. He said rivers have been left uncleaned and dams remain weak, leading to the current disaster that affects 25 districts and 5.5 million citizens. Yadav demanded that every official involved—from contractors to the irrigation minister—be investigated by the CBI and the Enforcement Directorate, with the Supreme Court overseeing the process. He also rebuked opposition leaders for their silence and noted that the Prime Minister has yet to acknowledge the emergency on social media.
