Before the Bihar Assembly elections, the Income Tax Department has sent a notice to Purnia MP Pappu Yadav. After receiving this notice, Pappu Yadav shared it on social media platform X and said that it is his duty to help the flood victims.
Pappu Yadav wrote on X, “I have received an Income Tax notice, distributing money to help the flood victims has been declared a crime. If this is a crime, then I will always commit the crime of helping every deprived and victim.” He further said that the houses of the flood victims of Maniyari village under Nayagaon East Panchayat of Vaishali district were washed away in the Ganga. Pappu Yadav raised the question that if he had not helped him, would he have remained a mute spectator like the Minister of State for Home, local MPs or self-proclaimed Chief Minister candidates?

According to media reports, in the beginning of October the Election Commission had taken cognizance against Pappu Yadav. The case pertains to Ganiyari village of Vaishali district, where many families were rendered homeless due to continuous erosion on the banks of the river. MP Pappu Yadav reached the spot, listened to the problems of the flood victims and provided them financial assistance.
Help was given to 80 affected families
During this period, he had distributed around Rs 5 lakh as cash assistance to about 80 affected families. After this action, the Election Commission registered a case against him. According to the strict rules of the Election Commission, no politician or public representative can give cash, gifts or financial assistance in public while the code of conduct is in force. Doing this is considered an attempt to influence the voters.
