Chirag made his foray into politics over a decade. In 2011, he played in the film Miley Naa Miley Hum Faced with Kangana Ranaut, who also goes to the lower room of Parliament after his election as Mandi of Himachal Pradesh on a BJP ticket.
However, it was politics that interested Ram Vilas’ son. “Acting was something I wanted to do, but I was very clear that it would ultimately be politics. It was always my final destination. You can call it Dynastic or something else, but the fact is that politics is what I know best, “he told the press agency Pti in 2014.
Chirag made his debut in Lok Sabha in Jamui in 2014, emerging victorious due to the popularity of the father and Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He kept Jamui in the 2019 general elections.
After the death of Ram Vilas Paswan in 2020, a family quarrel broke out between Chirag and his uncle Pashupati Kumar Paras.
Sauras, the younger brother of Ram Vilas Paswan, divided the LJP in two in 2021. A faction – LJP (RAM Vilas) – is led by Chirag, while the other – Rashtriya Lok Janshakti Party (RLJP) – is led by pares.
At the time, Paras took five of the six LJP deputies with him, leaving the faction of his nephew with one and no deputies.
In the 2019 polls, Hajipur Lok Sabha’s headquarters was won by Pashupati Paras on an LJP ticket, beating the RJD candidate by more than two Lakh votes. In fact, the undivided LJP had won the six seats it had disputed in the last general elections.
After the split, the uncle and the nephew engaged in a bitter battle on the constituency of Hajipur Lok Sabha in the Bihar Vaihali district. For both, the fight was aimed at claiming the heritage of Ram Vilas Paswan and being a “real” political successor to the deceased founder of the LJP.
However, it was not an easy road to Chirag. He was out of the NDA led by the BJP in 2020 and had challenged the elections of the Bihar Assembly that year. In 2021, the BJP ranked on the paras side in the rift with its nephew, leaving Chirag isolated.
While Paswan’s vote rallied behind Chirag, the BJP realized who was the “real” heir to the heritage of Ram Vilas Paswan.
At six percent, Paswans represents the largest constituent of the caste population listed in Bihar.
In March of this year, the chief of the RLJP Pashupati Paras resigned from his post as Minister of the Union after the NDA did not give a single seat to her party during the Lok Sabha elections. Instead, the saffron party chose Chirag above its uncle, allocating five seats to the LJP (RAM Vilas).
A senior BJP official had said Footprint At the time, “the essential was that Paras did not bring anything to the table. Chirag does it.
Chirag and his uncle were categorical about the Hajipur Lok Sabha headquarters competition. While Paras had said that he would dispute Hajipur, he did not throw his hat in the ring this time.
The results of Tuesday (June 4) show that Chirag came out of his father’s shadow and made a mark in the Bihar policy. The victory was softer for him when he fought the elections by himself because he could not seek the direction of his father and his uncle paras and the cousin Prince Raj remained away from the countryside electoral, noted Times of India (you).
As the elections approached, the chief of the LJP (RAM Vilas) had said Indian Express That he felt the “burden of transporting” the heritage of his father. “To top it off, I must meet the expectations of the inhabitants of Hajipur, who was almost synonymous with my father for more than four decades,” he said.
Chirag showed that he was able to take his party to new heights to Bihar.
