NDA Faces Internal Strife Ahead of Bihar Elections
As the Bihar Assembly elections approach at the year's end, the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) is experiencing significant internal conflict. A recent statement from Chirag Paswan, the national president of the Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas), has intensified challenges for both the BJP and JDU. From the Rajendra Stadium in Chapra, Paswan declared that his party intends to contest all 243 assembly seats in Bihar.
A Commitment to Bihar
During the 'Nav-Sankalp Mahasabha' event held at Rajendra Stadium in Chapra, Chirag Paswan passionately addressed the crowd, stating, 'From this sacred land of Saran, I affirm that I will contest the elections. I will fight for the people of Bihar, for my brothers, mothers, and sisters, and we will create a Bihar that truly progresses on the path of development.'
Strength and Determination
Paswan showcased his resilience and determination, asserting, 'I have been expelled from my party, my home, and my family, yet those who believe I am weak and will be intimidated are mistaken. I am the son of a lion, the son of Ram Vilas Paswan.'
He continued, 'I will neither stop nor tire, and I fear no one. I am committed to making Bihar a developed state, and I will not rest until that is achieved. But I need your support to do this.'
Allegations of Conspiracy
Chirag Paswan accused certain individuals of attempting to prevent him from returning to Bihar. He claimed that those responsible for forcing Bihari youth to migrate to other states and countries are also trying to undermine his efforts to advocate for their rights.
He emphasized that he will speak up for women, the elderly, farmers, and laborers, which is why some people do not want him in Bihar. Paswan alleged that this is the reason behind the conspiracies and confusion surrounding whether he will contest in the assembly elections.
