The intra-family war of words over the Hajipur (reserved) Lok Sabha seat is getting shriller by the day. Just two days after Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) chief Chirag Paswan said that it would be easier to win if his mother Reena Paswan contested from the seat, his uncle Pashupati Kumar Paras countered on Saturday, saying that if Mr. Paswan wanted to field his mother from the Hajipur seat, he too would put up someone from his family to contest the Jamui (reserved) parliamentary seat. Mr. Paswan is the MP from Jamui.
Mr. Paras, president of the Rashtriya Lok Janshakti Party (RLJP) and Union Minister of Food Processing Industries, also asserted that he was the “permanent and trustworthy ally of the NDA, while there was no guarantee whether [Chirag Paswan] would be in the NDA or not”.
