Chirag Paswan, LJP, Pashupati Kumar Paras, Bihar, Nitish Kumar – India TV
India TV NewsIn what could be seen as a desparate attempt to reconcile things within the party, Lok Janshakti Party party leader Chirag Paswan on Tuesday made an emotional appeal in a recent tweet and has also shared an old letter where he urged his uncle & LJP MP Pashupati Kumar Paras to take responsibility to keep the party united like his late father Ram Vilas Paswan. Paswan junior on Monday found himself in muddy waters when five of the six Lok Janshakti Party MPs in Lok Sabha joined hands against him and elected Pashupati Kumar Paras, the youngest brother Ram Vilas Paswan. Paras lauded Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar as a good leader and "vikas purush", highlighting the deep fault lines within the party as his nephew has been a strong critic of the supreme JD leader. He asserted that 99 per cent of LJP workers were unhappy with the turn of events in Bihar as Paswan led his party against the JD and it fared poorly in the 2020 assembly polls.
