Patna: In a significant statement amid the ongoing assembly elections in Bihar, Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) chief Chirag Paswan has cleared the air about his party joining the Mahagathbandhan after the results of the assembly elections are announced and NDA doesn’t get a clear majority. Expressing his unwavering support for Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the young Bihar leader “I love him a bit too much,” emphasising that he’s “inseparable” from him. Here are all the details you need to know about what Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) chief Chirag Paswan has said on his party leaving NDA.
Moreover, in an interesting note, the LJP chief dismissed the idea of a post-poll alliance after the Bihar elections, stating he’s “not going anywhere” and will remain part of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) led by Bihar CM Nitish Kumar and PM Modi. The statement from the Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) chief is very important as LJP is contesting on 29 assembly seats in Bihar.
When asked if Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi might approach him to join the opposition, similar to how his father Ram Vilas Paswan was approached by Sonia Gandhi in 2002, Paswan said that while he does communicate with Priyanka Gandhi, he said, “I do speak with Priyanka ji, and I want to emphasise again that as long as my Prime Minister is there, I am absolutely not going anywhere. My dedication and my love remain. I love him a bit too much,” Chirag Paswan said.
“I am the son of Ram Vilas Paswan ji. Whoever has seen his politics knows that the same values are within me because I am a part of him. My leader and my party have never entered into a post-poll alliance, no matter how many people called him a “weatherman.”
