National Democratic Alliance (NDA) ally Chirag Paswan on March 24 said his Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) will declare its candidates for the Lok Sabha election “immediately after Holi”.
Mr. Paswan, whose party has got five of the 40 Lok Sabha seats in Bihar, also said he was “ready for any challenge” that came from his estranged uncle Pashupati Kumar Paras.
“We will announce all our candidates in a few days... immediately after Holi,” said Mr. Paswan, but evaded a direct reply to the question whether he would accommodate Veena Devi and Mehboob Ali Kaiser, sitting MPs from Vaishali and Khagaria, respectively.
