Chirag Paswan, the President of Lok Janshakti Party Ram Vilas (LJPR), made an announcement on Wednesday regarding his candidacy for the upcoming Lok Sabha election from the Hajipur constituency.
This decision emerged during a significant gathering of the party's Parliamentary Board convened in Patna.
Speaking on the matter, Paswan expressed, "The party's Parliamentary Board, in unanimity, has endorsed my candidacy as part of the NDA for the Hajipur Lok Sabha seat. This constituency holds immense significance as it was the domain of my late father, Ram Vilas Paswan. Therefore, I am committed to contesting the 2024 Lok Sabha election from this very seat."
Furthermore, Paswan emphasized that the Parliamentary Board has vested him with the complete authority to make decisions on behalf of the party.
"We are set to contest on five seats in Bihar, and the particulars of other candidates will be disclosed in the forthcoming days," he added.
Addressing the contention surrounding Pashupati Kumar Paras, who also asserts his claim to the Hajipur seat, Chirag Paswan remarked, "I am prepared to confront any challenge that arises in the days to come. My uncle, Pashupati Kumar Paras, has consistently affirmed his allegiance to Prime Minister Narendra Modi. It is now imperative to demonstrate his solidarity with PM Modi during this crucial period."
