Will campaign for BJP in Bihar bypolls to Mokama and Gopalganj, says Chirag Paswan

The Hindu  

In a shot in the arm for the BJP in Bihar, Chirag Paswan on October 30 cast aside his ambivalence and announced that he will campaign for the saffron party in bypolls to two Assembly segments in the State. Mr. Paswan, who heads a splinter group of the Lok Janshakti Party founded by his late father Ram Vilas Paswan, was talking to reporters at the airport in Patna upon his arrival from Delhi. The 39-year-old MP from Jamui went into a huddle with party colleagues soon after landing before telling journalists "Lok Janshakti Party will campaign for the BJP in the by-elections to Mokama and Gopalganj. He also continued with his diatribe against Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, whose JD has been alleging that "Chirag model" was used by the BJP to weaken it in the 2020 Assembly polls. Basic necessities like piped water and pucca roads cannot be held up as an indicator of progress", said Mr. Paswan, who, then as the president of the undivided LJP, had caused JD’s tally to plummet by fielding candidates, many of them BJP rebels, in the Assembly polls.
