Chirag Paswan said alliance partners will be announced before the elections only.
Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) chief Chirag Paswan on Saturday said that he believes that there will be mid-term elections in Bihar and his party would be part of an alliance in the upcoming elections.
"I believe there will be mid-term elections in Bihar. We will fight the upcoming elections in an alliance. However, alliance partners will be announced before the elections only," said Mr Paswan in a press conference here.
He also slammed Chief Minister Nitish Kumar over deaths in Bihar due to consumption of illicit liquor and accused higher officials in the state of being a part of the racket.
"The Chief Minister should answer why alcohol is still available to the public in Bihar. He won't answer this question because higher officials of the state are part of the racket and Nitish Kumar is known to run the government through his officials," he said.
