Patna, 9th June: Union Minister and Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) chief Chirag Paswan on Saturday announced his decision to contest the upcoming Bihar Assembly elections, reaffirming his commitment to his father’s vision and asserting that his fight will be for the pride and progress of Bihar.
Addressing a large public rally, the 42-year-old leader declared, “I will contest the assembly polls in Bihar. I will contest not just from Bihar but for Bihar and its people. I am the son of Ram Vilas Paswan. I will realise the dreams of my father and work for ‘Bihar First, Bihari First’ to change Bihar.”
Paswan left it to the people of Bihar to decide the seat he should contest from, stating, “Whenever I take a political decision, I take it for the sake of the state and its people.”
In an emotionally charged address, the young leader, often hailed as “Yuva Bihari,” said, “Now that I have lost my father, the people of Bihar are my only family. My alliance is only with the people of Bihar.”
Chirag also made it clear that his decision to contest from an unreserved seat should not be interpreted as an ambition to become Chief Minister. “Let me make one thing very clear. My contest will only ensure a better strike rate for my party, which would help the NDA,” he added.
He reaffirmed his party’s commitment to the National Democratic Alliance, asserting, “I will contest all 243 seats to make the NDA stronger. I will live and die for Bihar and for the people of the state… for the pride of the state.”
Chirag Paswan’s declaration comes ahead of a politically charged electoral season in Bihar, where his party’s performance could be crucial to the NDA’s fortunes.
