Stronger Relations Again Between Chirag and BJP
In the past years, there was some bitterness in the relationship between Chirag Paswan and the BJP, especially during the 2020 Bihar Assembly elections, when the LJP fielded candidates against the JDU. However, it is now clear that both sides have put the old things behind them and decided to fight the 2025 elections together.
Political analysts believe that Chirag Paswan's young image, hold among Dalits, and his b relationship with Prime Minister Modi can give a new direction to the NDA's strategy in Bihar. His presence will not only strengthen the base of the LJP, but the BJP may also get a supplementary support base.
