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.
