Chirag Paswan is making strategic moves as Bihar prepares for the 2025 Assembly elections. His open criticism of the Nitish Kumar government, while his party is a coalition partner, has generated considerable attention. This, combined with his praise for Prashant Kishor, suggests a potential shift in alliances and a re-evaluation of his political strategy.
Paswan, a central minister in the Modi government, is taking a different approach in Bihar. He has strongly criticized the Nitish Kumar government, particularly concerning law and order. This criticism is significant as his party is part of the ruling coalition. He has also expressed his admiration for Prashant Kishor’s work in Bihar. The comments suggest he might be preparing to repeat his successful strategy from the 2020 elections.
Paswan has openly expressed his disappointment with the Nitish Kumar government. Simultaneously, he is praising Prashant Kishor’s role, further complicating the political landscape. Prashant Kishor’s party, Jan Suraaj, is actively involved, conducting rallies and gaining traction. The NDA is in discussions about seat-sharing, with the LJP seeking a larger share. The 2020 elections saw the LJP significantly impact the JD(U)’s performance. Other parties like HAM and RLSP are also aiming for a larger number of seats. The situation is very dynamic, and the election outcome will depend on seat-sharing deals and whether the NDA can accommodate all the parties.
