War of Words Between Pappu Yadav, Bihar BJP MP Over Ambulances ‘Lying Unused’
Bihar BJP MP Rajeev Pratap Rudy and Jan Adhikar Party chief Pappu Yadav engaged in a war of words after a fleet of ambulances were found lying unused on a piece of land belonging to the parliamentarian.
Yadav, a former MP, demanded to know why the ambulances — covered with tarpaulin and parked — were lying unused at a time the state is battling a massive rise in Covid-19 cases, News18 reported.
“There are over 30 ambulances here. There were more earlier but they have been moved. Overall close to 100 ambulances were parked here. We want to know why they were not being used… this is not about Rudyji or Pappu… this is about Bihar and the people of Bihar,” Yadav said.
Rudy, who represents the Saran Lok Sabha seat, retorted saying the ambulances were lying unused for want of drivers.
“There are not 60, 70 or 100 ambulances, but only 20. And they are not being used because we don’t have drivers. Pappu Yadav… you can take all the ambulances, but promise the people of Saran that you will find and employ drivers for all of them,” he said.
