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.
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.
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.
LJP chief Chirag Paswan says he is unwavering in his support for the BJP despite leaders of the party referring to him as a ‘vote-cutter’. Excerpts from an interview.
Ram Vilas Paswan, who represented the community for five decades, died earlier this month, and there’s much guesswork on who the community will choose in his stead.
Paswan said his party was never 'a fan of Nitish Kumar's style of politics' and stated that his parting of ways with the JD(U) had nothing to do with seat sharing for Bihar polls.
Nick Jonas is not trying to modernise the mangalsutra, but his gesture shows that choices can be equal. If commitment must be flaunted, it need not be gendered.
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.
