Was uncomfortable in alliance with Nitish Kumar
Chirag Paswan fiercely targeted Chief Minister Nitish Kumar during the press conference. He said that he never stays with anyone. Nitish only lives with the chair. On breaking the alliance in 2020, said that the role played by Nitish Kumar in the 2019 elections. She was totally wrong. He did the work of defeating each of our candidates. After this the churning started in our party that we should separate from the NDA. We were uncomfortable with Nitish Kumar in the NDA, so the alliance had to be broken.
After Paras, now Chirag’s party is also a part of NDA
In the midst of a war between the uncle and nephew for contesting the Hajipur Lok Sabha seat, both have agreed to sit together in the NDA meeting. After Pashupati Paras, now Chirag’s party has also become a part of NDA. On one hand, where Paras is not ready to leave Hajipur seat, on the other hand, just before the meeting, Chirag Paswan has made a big announcement and said in clear words that he will contest from Hajipur seat in any case. Chirag Paswan has said that he had met Union Minister of State for Home Nityanand Rai in the past. During the meeting, we put our views in front of him. After this, talks were held on every issue with Union Home Minister Amit Shah and BJP National President JP Nadda in Delhi.
uncle is and always will be
Chirag Paswan has decided to join the NDA only after a consensus is reached. Chirag Paswan said that the seat of Hajipur has been very important for him, which has been discussed within the alliance. There is no doubt that the candidate of his party will contest in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. Chirag Paswan said that whether Pashupati Kumar Paras believes it or not, he is his uncle and will always be. After father’s departure, I have seen father’s image in him. He is elder in age and can say whatever he wants to say, two years have passed but never made any comment about him or younger brother. During this, Chirag Paswan also strongly attacked Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and said that the alliance in which Nitish Kumar will remain will be at a loss.
Ram Vilas Paswan did not trust Chirag
On the other hand, Chirag’s uncle Pashupati Kumar Paras and his brother MP Prince Raj have also clearly stated that they are not going to compromise on Hajipur and Samastipur seats. Paras says that Ram Vilas Paswan did not trust Chirag, so he was sent to contest from Hajipur by making him his successor. The political war between the two uncle-nephew has increased the problems of the BJP. In such a situation, reconciliation between uncle and nephew has become a big challenge for the BJP.
