Union Minister Chirag Paswan on Sunday claimed that it is to decide for the people of Bihar to decide which seat they should contest the assembly elections later this year.
Paswan, the head of Lok Janakati Party (Ram Vilas), made a statement at a rally in Ara in Bhojpur district, where his party gave the voice of pole bugle.
“I will contest the assembly elections in Bihar. I will contest elections not only in Bihar but also for Bihar and its people. I am the son of Ram Villas Paswan. I will realize my father’s dreams and work for Bihar first to change Bihar,” Remembering an old slogan, he had coined before the previous assemblies in 2020.
At that time, he was leading the Lok Jansansh Party established by his father. Later, the party divided and ECI allocated new names and symbols to the party factions led by him and his uncle Pashupati Nath Paras.
The 42 -year -old Hajpur MP said, “It is for the people of Bihar to decide which seat I should contest in the upcoming assembly elections in the state. Whenever I take political decisions, I take it for the state and its people.” It is believed that Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s JD (U) was also defeated in several seats due to Paswan’s rebellion in the 2020 elections.
He has also clarified that his plan to contest elections preferably from an unreserved constituency should not be considered as his alleged Chief Minister’s ambition.
“Let me make one thing very clear. My competition will only ensure a better strike rate for my party, which will help the NDA,” he said.
