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.
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.
Pakistan must reduce non-productive expenditures like defence. The country's political economy has been overdetermined by the imperative of 'national security'.
Aim is to ensure not just disengagement of troops, but overall de-escalation. Govt in favour of solving tensions through talks as it wants peace with all neighbours including China.
Like the car, nothing the party has done to reinvent itself has worked. Only way forward is to offer something looking towards the future, not in image of glorious past.
