2019: Ram Vilas passes baton to Chirag

Dipak Dash, Nov 5, 2019: The Times of India

After steering Lok Janshakti Party for 19 years, Union minister Ram Vilas Paswan announced that his son Chirag Paswan has been unanimously chosen as the new president. The passing of the baton was smooth as Chirag’s name was proposed by his uncle Pashupati Kumar Paras and received unanimous support from party leaders, including newly elected Samastipur MP Prince Raj who is the son of late Ramchandra Paswan.

Soon after taking charge, Chirag, a two-time MP from Jamui, said that his focus will be to to expand the party base. He told mediapersons that he has already written to BJP leaders identifying six seats that LJP would like to contest as an ally in the upcoming Jharkhand election. LJP had fought just one seat in the last poll. The decision comes ahead of the 2020 state polls in Bihar.

Chirag said though he has been chosen as party chief, his father would always remain his “national president”. Paswan, who is a senior minister in Modi cabinet, said he was relieved from a bigger responsibility.
