Chirag Paswan on Thursday exuded confidence in the National Democratic Alliance’s (NDA) success in Bihar and asserted that there is no doubt about winning all 40 Lok Sabha seats in the state.
Speaking to reporters, the LJP (Ramvilas) chief said, "We will get 40 out of 40 seats in Bihar. There is no doubt about it. In 2019, when we were three parties, we won 39 seats out of 40. And as of today, we are five parties, and the enthusiasm among the people shows that we will easily cross the target of 40 seats in Bihar and 400 seats in the country," as quoted by news agency ANI.
