Why Chirag Paswan, PM Modi’s Hanuman in Nitish Kumar’s Bihar, stands isolated

There is a crisis in the Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) as five of its six MPs have rebelled against the sixth Lok Sabha member and LJP president, Chirag Paswan.

There is a crisis in the Lok Janshakti Party (LJP). Five of its six MPs have rebelled against the sixth Lok Sabha member and LJP president Chirag Paswan. Reports say they have approached Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla seeking a separate recognition. However, if one goes through the Twitter timeline of Chirag Paswan, it would show only birthday wishes to Union ministers and politicians including Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) president Lalu Prasad and commemorating some days. An otherwise vocal Chirag Paswan surprisingly does not betray his inner political turmoil on Twitter. His uncle, Pasupati Paras, MP from Hajipur, however played down the ‘rebellion’ saying they were not against Chirag Paswan.
