Breaking News: Chirag Paswan May Contest Bihar Assembly Elections from Shahabad, LJP(R) Survey Suggests

As Bihar gears up for its upcoming Assembly elections, political momentum is building within the Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas). A recent internal survey conducted by LJP(R) indicates that Shahabad region seats could be favorable for party president Chirag Paswan to contest. Though no official announcement has been made, sources suggest the party may soon hold a national executive meeting to finalize the decision. The buzz around Chirag’s potential candidacy has gained traction after a social media post by his brother-in-law and MP Arun Bharti, who also serves as the Bihar in-charge of the party. He hinted that Chirag may indeed enter the Assembly race, despite Chirag previously stating at a rally in Nalanda on June 29 that he wouldn't contest. Grassroots workers and party leaders have been vocal in their demand for Chirag to assume a decisive role in Bihar politics. However, former CM Jitan Ram Manjhi, an NDA ally, subtly criticized the move, claiming Bihar is progressing well under the leadership of PM Modi and CM Nitish Kumar, and there’s no space for others with personal ambitions. With Chirag’s past 2020 strategy in mind, the political scene is set for an intriguing contest ahead.
