RLJP president Pashupati Kumar Paras ended rift speculations with the NDA over Lok Sabha seat allotments by meeting BJP national president JP Nadda. Paras accused BJP of injustice after losing out on a ticket from Hajipur but later agreed to support all 40 NDA candidates in Bihar, settling differences going into elections.
Shambhavi Choudhary is one of the four women to get a ticket from the National Democratic Alliance (NDA). She is will contest from Bihar's Samastipur constituency from Chirag Paswan’s Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas)
“My uncle (Pashupati Kumar Paras) used to say he was the real heir of my father’s political legacy. But I was never in this race … don’t believe in downsizing anyone to grow taller,” says LJP (Ram Vilas) chief.
Ram Vilas Paswan was no fool. He knew very well about the ownership tussle going on beneath this veneer of congeniality.
At all costs, he wanted to keep the lid on the family drama. He did not want it to come in the way of his son s coronation.
