Paswan discloses he divorced first wife in 1981

Paswan made no mention of his first wife, Rajkumari, whom he married in the 1960s and she was still his wife when he became MP for the first time in 1977.

Like in the past, this time too Paswan mentioned the name of his second wife Reena who hails from Haryana and whom he married in 1983. Their son, Chirag, is now in politics and is contesting from Jamui.

Paswan has two daughters -- Usha and Asha -- from his first wife. Both are married.

Incidentally, in his nomination papers he mentioned that he has three daughters and one son but did not mention that the children are from two wives.
