Chirag Paswan to contest Bihar Assembly polls, NDA alliance faces new twist

Overview

  • Paswan announced he will field candidates on all 243 Bihar Assembly constituencies under the LJP banner, pledging to personally spearhead campaigns in every segment.
  • He lambasted Nitish Kumar’s administration over deteriorating law and order, highlighting the murders of two youths in Nalanda and the killing of businessman Gopal Khemka.
  • The Union minister broke ranks with his NDA allies by endorsing a state-specific domicile policy for government jobs to prioritize Bihari youth.
  • While affirming the LJP’s place in the NDA, Paswan said seat-sharing talks remain unresolved, prompting BJP leaders to interpret his bid as an allied effort and Congress to predict his exit from the coalition.
  • He claimed there are conspiracies to impede his political return, invoking his late father Ram Vilas Paswan’s legacy to vow protection of reservation rights and the Constitution.
