Posts and replies on X that started the controversy

The controversy started with an X post by Pappu Yadav on 22 February 2026, in which he mentioned industrialist Gautam Adani’s visit to Deoghar.
Pappu Yadav wrote: “Today he came to Adani temple in Deoghar, then he went to MP, an agent of industrialists! Brokering industrialists and spreading false propaganda against Nehru Gandhi is the main business of that MP, from this meeting it is clear that he is against Gandhi ji, Nehru ji, Rahul ji, Indira ji etc.

Who is the investor of propaganda!”

Responding to this, Nishikant Dubey posted the same day: “Recently during the Parliament session, this same gentleman had come to meet me inside the Lok Sabha, his only request was to get me included in the BJP.
The grapes are sour, there must be some faith? Also tell people how much landholding our family owns in your constituency. Also tell us that my brother is the MLA from Purnia from the Congress party. Maintain the dignity of politics.”
This exchange drew mixed reactions from the followers of both the MPs, with some supporting Dubey’s claim and some emphasizing Pappu Yadav’s political independence.

Didn't mention this gentleman's name
But when this has come to light
they should be asked
Which place is at Pramod Mahajan's place?
Sir, were you handling the ownership of the land?

We were MPs many times before you were born.
Had lived there, Purnia belonged to someone's father.
There is no landlord.

Rumors related to Pappu Yadav and BJP

Pappu Yadav's political journey started from the 1990s. He was associated with several parties, including Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD). There were rumors of joining BJP after his expulsion from RJD in 2015. Media reports at that time said that Pappu Yadav was trying to approach the BJP, but the BJP made it clear that there would be no alliance.
In March 2024, Pappu Yadav merged his Jan Adhikar Party with Congress. However, due to seat sharing with RJD in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, he did not get a Congress ticket and contested and won as an independent from Purnia. In recent months, Pappu Yadav has criticized the BJP. In October 2025, he accused the BJP of weakening Nitish Kumar over the seat sharing of Bihar assembly elections.
In a post in January 2026, he called BJP a "very despicable party" and raised questions on women's safety. Also, he accused BJP-RSS of hatred towards Dalits. He also invited Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar to join the grand alliance, claiming that BJP is destroying him politically. However, on some occasions he has been seen sharing the stage with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, which increased political speculations.
Nishikant taught the lesson of political decorum

Nishikant Dubey rejected Pappu Yadav's allegations and called it political jealousy. Dubey often attacks the opposition in Parliament and has been blaming the Nehru-Gandhi family. In this controversy, he appealed to Pappu Yadav to maintain decorum in politics and mentioned his family's land holding in Purnia and his brother being an MLA from Congress.

Expert on both sides' positions

Pappu Yadav has not yet given a direct reply to Dubey's claim of joining BJP. His supporters are calling it a political conspiracy. At the same time, some BJP workers have expressed support on Dubey's statement. Political analyst Omprakash Ashk believes that this controversy is related to the politics of Bihar, where there was tension regarding seat sharing in the NDA after the 2025 assembly elections.
Pappu Yadav describes himself as a Congress worker and talks about the victory of the Grand Alliance on the vision of Rahul Gandhi. On one hand, Pappu Yadav seems to be active in protecting the Nehru-Gandhi family, while his criticism of BJP and old rumors complicate his political position. Amidst the controversy, parliamentary dialogue is being expected from both the MPs.
