Amidst the ongoing flood devastation in Bihar, Purnea Member of Parliament Pappu Yadav has drawn sharp criticism for publicly throwing bundles of cash, raising questions about his conduct during a time
of crisis.
Videos surfaced on social media that showed Yadav distributing money, prompting outrage among flood-affected residents and political observers. BJP Leader Vishnu Vardhan Reddy argues that the gesture appears insensitive, especially since thousands remain displaced and struggle to access necessities.
In a post on X, Reddy shared a video of Pappu Yadav distributing money to the flood-affected people, and said, “In flood-hit Bihar, Purnea MP Pappu Yadav is throwing around bundles of cash as if it’s his personal kingdom. Is this disaster relief or a cheap stunt for publicity? And more importantly, whose hard-earned money is he flaunting?”

Bihar has been grappling with severe flooding over recent weeks, with several people impacted and extensive damage reported across multiple districts. Relief efforts continue, but the handling of aid distribution remains a critical issue.
In Bihar’s Bhagalpur district, floods wreak havoc as water engulfs the entire Naugachhia area, forcing residents to leave their homes with essential belongings. In Munger’s Bariarpur block, flood-like conditions have affected millions. Floodwaters have also entered schools, police stations, health centres, block offices, and circle offices. Locals allege they are not receiving any government assistance.
