Chirag Paswan on possible Lok Sabha election faceoff with Pashupati Paras: ‘Uncle to decide’.

“He (Pashupati Kumar Paras) has to decide if he wants to become obstruction to achieve the target of winning over 400 seats for the NDA,” Chirag Paswan said. Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) chief Chirag Paswan said he’s willing to run for the Hajipur Lok Sabha seat against his uncle, Pashupati Kumar Paras. However, he refrained from attacking the Rashtriya Lok Janshakti Party (RLJP) leader and said that it’s up to his uncle to decide if he wants to support Prime Minister Narendra Modi or not.After a party meeting, Paswan said he’ll run from Hajipur, with other candidates to be announced later. Regarding his uncle’s resignation from the Union cabinet and his possible re-election bid from Hajipur, the Jamui MP said he would welcome his uncle’s decision to contest. “It is for my uncle to decide. He has always said that he will always stand with PM Modi. Now he has to decide if he wants to become an obstruction in his path to achieve the target of winning over 400 seats for the NDA,” he told reporters. Paswan said that despite facing numerous political challenges, he is prepared to confront this one, alluding to the potential “uncle vs nephew” contest that could make Hajipur a highly watched constituency in the elections. He said that Hajipur held significant importance for his late father, Ram Vilas Paswan. Chirag Paswan has won the Jamui seat in both the 2014 and 2019 elections.
