“Pappu, Tappu, Appu!”: Yogi’s Jibe, Modi’s ‘Katta’ Remark Heat Up Bihar Polls

With just days to go before Bihar votes, political temperatures are soaring. Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath fired fresh salvos, dubbing Rahul, Tejashwi and Akhilesh as “Pappu, Tappu and Appu,” while PM Modi took aim with his ‘katta’ jibe at the Mahagathbandhan. The opposition hit back hard — Tejashwi and Priyanka slammed the BJP for divisive language. Meanwhile, Rahul Gandhi grabbed headlines with a dramatic dip in a muddy pond alongside Mukesh Sahani, in a symbolic outreach to the Mallah community. As catchy one-liners and optics dominate, Bihar’s real issues — jobs, inflation, and migration — risk being sidelined.
