Patna, Jan 22 (IANS): Chirag Paswan s Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) took out a donkey protest against the controversial Amazon Prime web series Tandav in the Bihar capital.

Lok Janshakti Party chief Chirag Paswan on Tuesday dodged queries about the likelihood of his joining the Union council of ministers, in which his party has been left with no representation following the death of his father Ram Vilas Paswan.
