Patna, February 25 – Amid Union Home Minister Amit Shah's visit to the Seemanchal region, Purnea MP Rajesh Ranjan, also known as Pappu Yadav, reminded the Home Minister of the promises made to the people of the region, particularly farmers, during the election campaign.
Yadav stated that during the campaign, an announcement was made about the establishment of a maize and makhana-based factory for farmers in Purnea and surrounding districts.
"Now is the time to fulfill that promise," he asserted.
The MP said that farmers in Seemanchal are nationally recognized for their production of makhana and maize, yet the lack of processing units and industries deprives them of fair prices for their produce.
"Setting up a factory here is not just a promise, it is the right of the people of Seemanchal," he said, demanding the immediate establishment of agro-processing industries in the region.
Yadav also called for a special economic package for the poorest sections of Seemanchal, stating that only focused intervention could improve the region's socio-economic conditions.
Reacting to the Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary's statement in the Bihar Assembly, Yadav criticized the ruling alliance, claiming that he has a file on every leader.
"If such a file exists, it should be made public instead of being suppressed," he said, adding that the disclosure of the truth would expose the real face of politics.
He alleged that both the ruling party and the opposition in Bihar appear to be afraid.
Responding to remarks made by BJP national president Nitin Nabin against Rahul Gandhi, Yadav said that Rahul Gandhi's popularity extends beyond national boundaries.
He alleged that the BJP lacks a concrete agenda and therefore continues to target Rahul Gandhi to divert attention from real issues.
Yadav also raised the issue of the rape and murder of a NEET student in Patna.
He alleged that when he raised the matter, a conspiracy was hatched against him, and his security was reduced.
The remarks made during Amit Shah's visit to Seemanchal indicate that political rhetoric in Bihar is set to intensify further in the coming days.
