A political stir has emerged in Bihar after a serving minister openly questioned the administration's own welfare mechanisms regarding food distribution. Raising serious concerns over the quality of grains supplied to underprivileged citizens through the public distribution system, Minister Lakhendra Paswan expressed deep dissatisfaction. He remarked that the grain quality is so abysmal that not even a pigeon would consume it, raising questions about how ordinary citizens are expected to eat it. A video capturing this sharp critique has also surfaced in the public domain.
Cabinet Colleagues and Senior Officials Present During the Remarks
What drew significant attention was the presence of several high-ranking government ministers and senior bureaucrats when these remarks were made. Food and Consumer Protection Department Minister Ashok Chaudhary along with Panchayati Raj Minister Deepak Prakash were present at the scene, accompanied by multiple senior department officials. Such direct criticism from within the administration has sparked intense discussions regarding the monitoring and implementation of welfare food distribution schemes across the state.
