What did Chirag Paswan say on his entry in Modi cabinet?
Chirag Paswan taking the blessings of Pashupati Paras is a big sign that relations between both the leaders may improve in the wake of 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
Chirag Paswan, whose political career kickstarted after winning the Jamui constituency in 2014 under his father's leadership, lived a full life in politics by taking several politically very shrewd moves post his father's death.
MP and Lok Janshakti Party-Paswan, Chirag Paswan on Sunday expressed his views on the possible alliance of his party with NDA. A few days after Ajit Pawar parted his ways from his uncle Sharad Pawar and joined hands with Eknath Shinde-led faction in Maharashtra
The process of moving furniture and household goods from the bungalow in Janpath in Lutyens' Delhi started shortly after a team from the Directorate of Estates, which comes under the Union Housing and Urban Affairs Ministry, reached the property, official sources said.
In an interim order on October 2, the EC had barred both the factions from using the name of Lok Janshakti Party or its symbol 'bungalow' till the dispute between the two is settled by the poll panel.
Both Chirag Paswan and newly-elected LJP national president Pashupati Kumar Paras, earlier in June, had written to the Election Commission over the right on the party symbol.
The Election Commission has frozen the Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) symbol amid a tussle between factions of Chirag Pawan and his uncle and Union minister Pashupati Kumar Paras. Both the factions of LJP had claimed the election symbol 'Bangla' (House) in the Election Commission.
Chirag Paswan had visited the election commission office on Friday to demand that the party symbol continues to be with his party. One faction of the LJP is led by president Paswan and another one by his uncle and Union Cabinet Minister Paras.
Prince Paswan has been booked under rape charges by the Delhi Police, officials said on Tuesday.
Chirag met Tejashwi to invite him for an event on September 12 to mark the first death anniversary of his father and former Union Minister Ram Vilas Paswan. Chirag Paswan has also called Tejashwi Yadav his 'younger brother' on several occasions.
The Jamui MP also hinted at his disillusionment with the BJP which has kept silent over the crisis in his party despite his unreserved adulation of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Welcoming the Delhi High Court decision of rejecting Chirag Paswan’s plea, Paras said that his nephew has every right to the late Ram Vilas Paswan's property.
The petition sought setting aside speaker’s June 14 circular showing the name of Paras as leader of Jan Lokshakti Party in the Lok Sabha.
Notably, Chirag had opened a front against Kumar ahead of the assembly elections last year when he claimed that people of the state were yearning for a change in leadership.
Paras led a coup against his nephew Chirag Paswan and split the Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) founded by his brother Ram Vilas Paswan - Chirag's father. Paras took oath as minister in Modi Cabinet on July 7.
In a party coup last month, Paswan was removed as LJP President by some rebel MPs, including Paras. He retaliated by expelling his uncle and four other MPs.
Earlier, Chirag Paswan has dubbed himself Hanuman and the Prime Minister as Lord Ram.
Chirag also said that he expected his alliance Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to reach out during the current crisis, but BJP's silence is unexpected for him. "If Hanuman (Chirag Paswan) has to seek help from Ram (PM Narendra Modi), then it's unfortunate. I expect Ram should play a role to solve the political crisis faced by hanuman" Paswan said
