Bihar Assembly Elections 2025 | 'Pappu, Tappu and Akku of I.N.D.I.A. bloc': Yogi Adityanath's '3 monkeys' jibe at Akhilesh Yadav, Rahul Gandhi and Tejashwi Yadav

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Monday taking a dig at the I.N.D.I.A. bloc leaders during a public rally in Bihar’s Darbhanga said “'Pappu', 'Tappu' and 'Akku' are the three new monkeys of the INDI alliance.”

Mocking Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, RJD’s Tejashwi Yadav and Samajwadi Party leader Akhilesh Yadav, he said “'Pappu', 'Tappu' and 'Akku' are the three new monkeys of the INDI alliance.” “These are the people who divide people in the name of caste and perpetuate riots,” Adityanath alleged.

"Pappu can't tell the truth...Tappu can't see what's right...Appu can't hear the truth...These three monkeys are trying to breach Bihar's security by luring the family mafia and making them their disciples. These people pitted caste against caste in Bihar...With guns and pistols, they tainted Bihar's entire system," he added.

He also alleged that the Congress, RJD and SP were “embracing criminals” in Bihar, allowing infiltrators to compromise with the state’s security.

"Let us resolve that we shall neither be divided nor fight with each other (na batenge, na katenge)," he added.

Referring to the alleged misrule when the RJD-Congress combine was in power in Bihar, he alleged, "Back then, ration shops got looted. Today, 80 crore people, including those in Bihar, are getting free ration."

Adityanath claimed that if the NDA government returns to power in Bihar, it will "chase infiltrators out of the state, and redistribute their wealth among the poor".

Adityanath asserted the BJP has fulfilled the promise of constructing the Ram Temple in Ayodhya, and now it will build "Ma Janaki’s temple in Sitamarhi and connect it with Ayodhya through the Ram Janaki Marg".
