Rahul Gandhi Questions Bihar Government's Response to Recurring Floods
Rahul Gandhi has criticized the BJP-led Bihar government for its handling of the state's recurring floods, questioning what measures have been taken over the past 17 years to address the crisis. He expressed condolences for those affected and emphasized the need for a permanent solution rather than recurring relief efforts. The recent floods have submerged hundreds of villages and displaced millions, with reports of deaths and missing persons. The BJP government attributes the flooding to heavy rainfall in Nepal, but Gandhi calls for durable strategies to prevent future disasters.
