Prime Minister Narendra Modi came to Bihar on March 2 after a long wait. Held large public meetings in Aurangabad and Begusarai. In this, apart from the stalwarts of Bharatiya Janata Party, National President of Janata Dal United and Chief Minister of Bihar Nitish Kumar, Chief of Hindustani Awam Morcha-Secular and former Chief Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi, Chief of Lok Janshakti Party (Rashtriya) and Union Minister Pashupati Kumar Paras etc. Were visible, but there is concern due to the absence of stalwarts of the two constituent parties. The BJP will now focus on those two constituents during PM Modi’s possible visit to Bettiah on March 6, especially Pashupati Paras’ nephew and Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) chief and Jamui MP Chirag Paswan.
Three reasons for Chirag not coming, which one is heavier – the question is
Chirag Paswan, who called himself PM Modi’s Hanuman for a long time, was not in Bihar on Saturday. He was said to be in Delhi. When PM Modi came to give such a big gift to Bihar, it was natural for Pashupati Kumar Paras to remain as the Union Minister and Nitish Kumar to remain as the CM and President of JDU, the strongest partner of the National Democratic Alliance in Bihar. But, these three reasons are being considered for Chirag Paswan’s absence. According to LJP state president Raju Tiwari, Chirag Paswan was in Delhi as per a pre-planned programme, hence did not go to PM Modi’s public meeting. By the way, people with political understanding are considering the ‘uncle’ present on the stage as the reason behind this. Being a Union Minister, it was certain that Paras would be on the stage, but being an MP from far away Jamui, Paras would probably have been below – that is why he did not come. CM Nitish Kumar was sure to be next to PM Modi on the stage and in such a situation, he did not like Chirag to be seen below – that is why he did not come. Now all the mathematics will be seen on whether Chirag Paswan is present on March 6 or not. Bettiah is also far from Jamui, but only if everything goes well then Chirag will be seen there.
