At the meet, Chirag Paswan was greeted with a hug by Prime Minister Narendra Modi too -- a moment he shared on Twitter.
The distant factions of Bihar's Lok Janshakti Party took one step towards each other today as Chirag Paswan was seen touching his uncle Pashupati Paras's feet and getting a warm hug in return at the NDA meet presided over by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The amity was on display less than 72 hours after Mr Paras was heard making strong remarks against his nephew and declaring that he has said a firm "no" to the BJP's suggestion that the divided party unify. इस स्नेह और सम्मान के लिए आपका आभार आदरणीय प्रधानमंत्री जी।@narendramodipic.twitter.com/gBKKORxxeW
Chirag Paswan has joined the NDA and became one of the 38 allies who had a mega meeting in Delhi today. At the meet, he was greeted with a hug by the Prime Minister too -- a moment he shared on Twitter.
The uncle and nephew have been at loggerheads since the Bihar assembly election -- the latest flashpoint being Ram Vilas Paswan's of seat of Hajipur. Earlier this week, Mr Paras had doubled down saying that he would not give up Hajipur. "He (Chirag) has no standing in Hajipur. I wonder why he is spending his time there," he said.
