New Delhi, Feb 3 (PTI) The Union minister Pashupati Kumar Paras-led Rashtriya Lok Janshakti Party has made former MP Surajbhan Singh the head of its parliamentary board in place of Veena Devi, who has joined hands with Chirag Paswan.

In a statement, the RLJP has claimed the support of three other MPs, Singh’s brother Chandan, Mehbooba Ali Kaiser and Paras’ nephew Prince Raj, who remain members of the board.

The RLJP and the LJP (Ram Vilas) headed by Chirag Paswan, also a nephew of Paras, are at daggers drawn in Bihar politics ahead of the Lok Sabha polls.

Chirag Paswan is looking to reclaim his father Ram Vilas Paswan’s legacy after Paras got the support of five of the six MPs of the party founded by the stalwart Dalit leader.

Chirag Paswan, the only MP of his faction, believes the core supporters of his father are with him.

Both factions are allies of the BJP. PTI KR DIV DIV
