Union Minister Chirag Paswan fired back at Congress-led protests over the arrest of fiery MP Pappu Yadav, branding them as cynical electioneering.
In Patna, Paswan laid bare the opposition’s flip-flop. ‘INDIA bloc leaders begged voters to defeat Pappu Yadav, even endorsing NDA votes. Now they cry foul for votes,’ he told journalists, mocking their sudden solidarity.
Targeting Tejashwi Yadav directly, Paswan said, ‘Before hurling charges, check your homework. Worried leaders should engage Parliament, not evade it or vacation abroad amid crises.’
Addressing the NEET aspirant’s death that sparked outrage, Paswan defended swift action. ‘Government machinery is in overdrive—SITs probing, CBI stepping in—to deliver ironclad justice and deter repeats.’
Paswan’s outspoken defense signals LJP’s firm NDA alignment in Bihar’s charged atmosphere. As the Pappu Yadav saga grips headlines, his words fuel debates on opposition tactics versus governance accountability.
