News about his condition spread quickly. Soon after reports said Pashupati Paras health deteriorates, Union minister Chirag Paswan went to the hospital to meet his uncle. He spoke with doctors and asked about Paras’s treatment.

Chirag later spoke to the media outside the hospital. He said Paras is like a father to him. He also said family ties remain strong despite past political differences.

Paras told reporters in Patna that he wants both factions of the Lok Janshakti Party to come together again. The split happened after the death of LJP founder Ram Vilas Paswan, which led to a political dispute between Paras and his nephew Chirag Paswan.

The Pashupati Paras Chirag Paswan issue gained attention after a recent public event where Chirag touched his uncle’s feet and took blessings. Their brief interaction raised speculation that relations between them may be improving.

Paras also said he would feel happy if Chirag Paswan becomes the Chief Minister of Bihar someday.

Political observers say Paras’ remarks may signal a possible reunion between RLJP and LJP (Ram Vilas), though Chirag Paswan has not yet reacted publicly.

He said large-scale use of firewood increases air pollution and leads to cutting of trees. He also pointed out that many rural areas lack proper electric cremation facilities. According to him, electric crematoriums would reduce pollution and ease the burden on families.

His remarks drew sharp reactions from ministers. Vijay Sinha responded that the government already runs electric crematoriums in several cities. He added that officials will review the demand and consider expansion where needed.

The issue triggered strong political reactions inside the House.

Notable names include Raju Tiwari from Govindganj, Sanjay Kumar Singh from Simri Bakhtiyarpur and Mahua, Hulas Pandey from Brahmapur, Sangeeta Devi from Balrampur, and Shayamdev Paswan from Bodhgaya. The list shows a mix of experienced leaders and young candidates, signaling LJP-R’s effort to balance caste, region, and gender representation.

Chirag’s move highlights his strategy to expand influence across Bihar while staying aligned with NDA partners. The LJP-R candidates list is expected to shape early political trends before nominations close.

Chirag initially demanded 40 seats and later insisted on 30, forcing BJP to agree on 29. Other allies like HAM and RLSP had to settle for fewer seats. This outcome clearly showed that Chirag Paswan, who calls himself PM Modi’s “Hanuman,” succeeded in strengthening his position.

In the previous election, Chirag had fought separately and caused serious damage to JDU, costing it nearly 40 seats. To prevent a repeat, BJP decided to accommodate him this time. Both BJP and JDU even sacrificed three seats each to meet his demand. This compromise underlines Chirag’s importance in Bihar’s political balance.

Chirag Paswan NDA seat-sharing deal not only reshaped the seat equation but also highlighted his emergence as a key power player in the NDA camp.

LJP-R, an NDA ally, has demanded 30 seats for the upcoming Bihar assembly elections. There is also speculation that Arun Bharti might contest on behalf of the party. The LJP-R currently has five MPs but no MLAs in Bihar. Chirag Paswan clarified that the party will decide later whether he or any MP will contest.

This move strengthens Chirag Paswan’s control over Bihar election management through trusted aides, setting the stage for an active political campaign.

According to sources, the BJP and JDU have agreed on a preliminary seat division. Now, talks are in progress with allies like Chirag Paswan’s Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) and Jitan Ram Manjhi’s Hindustani Awam Morcha (HAM). Rashtriya Lok Samta Party (RLSP) is also being included to ensure every party gets a fair share.

The final announcement is expected during the Navratri festival, which starts on September 22. Political observers believe the NDA wants to show unity and strength ahead of elections. The announcement may come around Durga Puja when the campaign gains momentum.

In 2020, JDU was weaker compared to the BJP. But Nitish Kumar’s return to the NDA has changed the balance. The BJP leadership now wants to maintain alliance harmony and send a clear message against the INDIA bloc.

Chirag Paswan explained that marriage is a big responsibility and he cannot take such commitments now. Speaking to a digital channel, he said his dream is to make Bihar developed, and that is where his full focus lies. He added that when someone marries, they also take responsibility for their partner, but at present, his duty is towards the people of Bihar.

When asked directly about marriage plans, he replied that there is no such possibility in the near future. He even shared how his younger brother often talks about it, but he feels this is not the right time.

Earlier, RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav had advised him to marry soon in the presence of Rahul Gandhi. On that occasion, Rahul laughed and admitted that the same advice applied to him as well.

The Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) leader explained that Manjhi is senior and honorable. He called his anger a blessing and promised to improve so that no elder remains upset. Both Chirag and Manjhi are ministers in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s cabinet, yet their regular disagreements often raise doubts about NDA’s unity in Bihar.

Chirag Paswan on Jitan Ram Manjhi came during an interview where he said, “I hold dignity in my politics. I never use harsh words or personal attacks. Politics may divide us, but respect keeps us connected.” He also referred to Tejashwi Yadav as his younger brother, Rabri Devi as a mother figure, and Prashant Kishor as a friend.

Despite past tensions, Chirag insisted that Manjhi is like a father to him. As elections approach, his words show both respect and an attempt to heal NDA’s internal rifts.
