On Tuesday, Pashupati Paras resigned from Modi Cabinet after BJP struck a deal with his nephew Chirag Paswan. For Paras, this could mean a return to political obscurity.
On Tuesday, Paras resigned from Union Cabinet, a development that came after BJP finalised seat-sharing talks with his nephew Chirag Paswan for Lok Sabha polls.
Chirag Paswan-led Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) likely to get 5 seats, remaining to go to parties led by Upendra Kushwaha, Jitan Ram Manjhi & possibly Mukesh Sahani's VIP, if it joins.
After the meeting with Shah and Nadda, Paswan said that more clarity regarding the prevailing political situation in Bihar will emerge in the next few days.
Both uncle and nephew are bent on contesting from Hajipur in 2024. BJP has been trying to bring them together ahead of 2024 Lok Sabha polls especially with JD(U) out of NDA fold.
Chirag, the son of late union minister Ram Vilas Paswan, says he’s holding negotiations with the BJP for a future alliance. However, he has conditions.
BJP wants the LJP (Ram Vilas) to help counter the JD (U) and the RJD. But Chirag Paswan has one ‘condition’ — his uncle Pashupati Paras’s ouster from the NDA.
LJP chief says his uncle, Union minister Paras, should be 'ashamed’ by how Ram Vilas Paswan’s belongings were thrown out. Paras says Chirag ‘betrayed’ his father’s alliance.

Bihar is blessed with a land more fertile for revolutions than any in India. Why has it fallen so far behind then? Constant obsession with politics is at the root of its destruction.
