For the BJP, 2025 offers an opportunity to finally fulfil its dream of having its own CM in Bihar. It would only be grateful if PK could repeat what Chirag Paswan did in 2020.
In interview with ThePrint, Union Minister Chirag Paswan also talks about the controversy involving BJP minister in Madhya Pradesh, caste census and upcoming Bihar polls.
It was LJP (RV) that had pushed JD(U) to 3rd position in Bihar as its tally came down from 71 in 2015 to 43 in 2020. But, Chirag, too, has not got the numbers to claim CM's chair.
Chirag's party has accused Paras of ill-treating Ram Vilas Paswan's first wife Rajkumari Devi. This was after Rajkumari accused Paras & two others of locking her out of ancestral house.
Union Minister & LJP (Ram Vilas) chief Chirag Paswan also talks about simultaneous polls, besides his party's intention to contest elections in Delhi, Punjab & Uttar Pradesh.
Officially, the meeting was about selection of the new information commissioner. According to Tejashwi, Bihar’s 65 percent reservation decision was discussed.
Congress's Supriya Srinate says the BJP MP has made her party’s stand clear on the issue. BJP has remained equivocal on caste census while key allies JD(U) & LJP are for it, as is Oppn.
Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) president said he believes there are two classes of people – rich and poor – in the society and different castes and religions fall in both categories.
