Bihar Election 2025: The political atmosphere in Bihar has intensified once again. Chirag Paswan, the National President of the Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas), made a major announcement regarding the Bihar assembly elections on Sunday. Addressing the 'Nav Sankalp Mahasabha' at the Rajendra Stadium in Chhapra, Chirag Paswan clearly stated that he would field candidates in all 243 assembly seats in Bihar.
Chirag said from the stage, "Many people are concerned when I talk about coming to Bihar. They ask how many seats I will contest, so today I announce – Chirag Paswan will stand in every seat in Bihar." With this announcement, Chirag not only clarified his strategy but also filled the party workers with immense enthusiasm.
Maintaining ties with NDA, but establishing a separate identity
Chirag Paswan made it clear that he would remain a part of the NDA (National Democratic Alliance). He said that while remaining with the NDA, the Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) would move forward with its own distinct vision and the 'Bihar First, Bihari First' agenda. Chirag said, "Many attempts are being made to stop me, but I am not one to be afraid. The people of Bihar are my family, and I will fight every battle for my brothers and sisters."
Chirag Paswan also gave a b response to the rumors circulating about reservations. He said clearly from the stage that as long as he is alive, no one can abolish reservations. Chirag said, "Ram Vilas Paswan's son is telling you today, no one can take away reservations. I will risk my life, but I will not let the rights of Dalits and backward classes be taken away." This statement is also seen as a message to all those opponents who have been expressing concerns about the NDA eliminating reservations.
Strong attack on the opposition
Chirag Paswan also targeted the opposition parties in Bihar. He said that the people who are now talking about development in Bihar were the same people who were responsible for ruining Bihar in the 90s. Chirag said, "The governments of the 90s pushed Bihar into jungle raj. Now the same people are talking about development with changed faces, but the people of Bihar know everything." He said that Bihar needs a government that can provide employment here instead of making people go out, so that people don't have to work as laborers in foreign lands.
Reiterated the resolve of 'Bihar First, Bihari First'
Chirag once again presented his campaign 'Bihar First, Bihari First' to the public. He said that this is not just a slogan, but the purpose of his life. Chirag said, "I want to create a system in Bihar where youth do not have to wander outside for employment after their education. Development should reach every district; this will be my priority."
The political roar that Chirag made from the historical land of Chhapra is being felt throughout Bihar. Chirag said that he is not going to be intimidated by any conspiracies being hatched against him in Bihar. He appealed to his party workers to be bly prepared in every assembly constituency.
After this announcement by Chirag Paswan, discussions about new equations in Bihar's political equations have intensified. While staying in the NDA and fielding candidates on all seats, many questions are also being raised about the strategy, but Chirag's demeanor shows that he is ready to play every move to strengthen his party.
