In a fresh political development in Bihar, Chirag Paswan's party, Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas), has made serious allegations against Pashupati Kumar Paras, accusing him of mistreating the wife of the late Ram Vilas Paswan. The allegations have created a stir in the political circles, as they highlight the ongoing rift within the Paswan family and the leadership tussle for control of the LJP.
Chirag Paswan’s faction of the party claims that Pashupati Kumar Paras, who is the current Member of Parliament and the leader of a rival faction, has shown disrespect towards Ram Vilas Paswan’s wife, prompting concerns about the treatment of the late leader's family. The Paswan family, which has a prominent place in Bihar's politics, has been facing internal strife since the demise of Ram Vilas Paswan in 2020.
Chirag, who has been vocal about his leadership of the party, has accused Paras of undermining the legacy of his late father and causing distress to the family. He further alleged that Paras’s actions go against the values that Ram Vilas Paswan upheld during his lifetime, including respect for family members and proper party conduct. Chirag’s faction has expressed concerns that Paras's actions are driven by political ambitions rather than the welfare of the party and its legacy.
Pashupati Kumar Paras, on the other hand, has not yet publicly responded to these specific allegations. However, he has been a central figure in the split within the LJP, as he leads a separate faction of the party. The political tension between the two factions continues to rise, with both sides accusing each other of undermining the legacy of Ram Vilas Paswan.
As the dispute between Chirag Paswan and Pashupati Kumar Paras deepens, the future of the Lok Janshakti Party remains uncertain, with the party’s direction and leadership hanging in the balance. The allegations further intensify the internal power struggle that continues to shape the political landscape in Bihar.
