In June, BJP is said to have played an active role in the split of Paswan’s Lok Janshakti Party (LJP). Now, the party seems to have had a change of heart.
Modi govt ordered Paswans to vacate the 12, Janpath bungalow last year. The battle took a turn when LJP supporters put up a bust of Paswan Sr inside the bungalow.
The bungalow, 12 Janpath, has been the official address of the Lok Janshakti Party. Ram Vilas Paswan stayed there for nearly three decades till his death in October last year.
The HC said that it will not interfere in Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla's decision to recognise Pashupati Kumar Paras as the leader of the LJP and refused to entertain the plea.
Monday marked the first birth anniversary of Ram Vilas Paswan since his death in October 2020, and 25th foundation day of RJD, bringing a frenzy of political activity in Bihar.
Tejashwi Yadav said Chirag Paswan can carry forward father Ram Vilas Paswan's legacy only by joining the 'existential fight' against RSS ideologue Golwalkar's 'bunch of thoughts'.
Paswan's announcement came after a meeting of LJP's national executive, which endorsed his leadership and hit out at faction led by his uncle Pashupati Kumar Paras.
Chirag Paswan is forced to launch a fight not just to save his father Ram Vilas Paswan's legacy but also his party LJP, which is caught between two power centres.
Paswan steered clear of questions regarding BJP's role in the development and said what has happened is an internal matter for which he will not target others.
