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.
In an interaction with ThePrint, the Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) leader says he does not think his ‘Bihari first’ plan will be possible under any other alliance.
Paras said his political rivals have been jolted by the huge response he had drawn on his first visit to Hajipur's constituency & accused them of resorting to ‘murderous politics’.
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.
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.
Pashupati Kumar Paras, 68, appeared to come into his own Monday as he took over the post of LJP parliamentary party leader from nephew Chirag Paswan, also a party MP.
The rebel group has long been unhappy with Lok Janshakti Party president Chirag Paswan's style of functioning, sources said, adding the MPs may back JD(U) in the coming days.
Amit Shah had said LJP’s future as NDA member would be considered after assembly polls. More than 5 months later, JD(U) continues to humiliate Chirag, but BJP is quiet.
The LJP won one seat, according to EC figures at 11.10 pm. Besides JD(U), LJP ended up either hurting or reducing lead margins of other NDA allies like HAM & VIP.
Counting for Bihar's 243 assembly seats stretches late into the night. BJP & RJD's vote share remain neck-and-neck, but trends show NDA has crossed halfway mark. Here are the day's updates.

India-Russia JV is also racing to deliver 7,000 more AK-203 assault rifles by 15 Aug. These are currently being made with 50% indigenisation and this will surge to 100% by 31 December.
Public, loud, upfront, filled with impropriety and high praise sometimes laced with insults. This is what we call Trumplomacy. But the larger objective is the same: American supremacy.
Bihari politician are biggest fraud. I’m from Bihar. Bihari politicians are doing nothing with themselves. No effort like Andra Pradesh is doing only surviving on centre funds.
