Union Minister Chirag Paswan has put an end to all rumors by declaring that Bihar’s upcoming Chief Minister will hail from the BJP, and he is not in the race. Speaking to reporters in Patna, the Lok Janshakti Party leader reaffirmed his focus on central duties entrusted by PM Modi.
Paswan expressed his belief that a BJP leader is the right choice for the state’s top job, with alliance partners set to finalize details shortly. He extended best wishes to Nitish Kumar as he embarks on a fresh political chapter.
Dismissing opposition claims, Paswan underscored NDA’s solid unity against the opposition’s visible cracks, evident in today’s Rajya Sabha polls where key opposition MLAs skipped voting. With broad agreement on the CM pick, the transition is imminent, promising dynamic governance ahead.
On Nishant Kumar joining JDU’s active politics, Paswan offered a warm welcome, noting long-standing buzz around his involvement. Shifting gears to national polls, Paswan forecasted NDA triumphs in five states. From Assam’s assured win under Sarma to shifting sands in Tamil Nadu and a strong anti-Mamata wave in Bengal fueled by governance failures and Centre-state frictions, optimism runs high.
