![]() ![]() He further claimed that Paswan then wanted Chirag to concentrate on Jamui from where he was already an MP. ![]() Paras was inducted into the Union cabinet a few months after Paswan's death. But my brother was insistent," claimed the Union minister. I asked him to consider, for the seat, Chirag or his mother (Bhabhi ji). "When my brother told me he wanted me to fight from Hajipur, I initially showed my reluctance. He claimed that Ram Vilas Paswan had insisted him on contesting from Hajipur. But I was merely pointing to the fact that I was already a minister in Bihar," Paras added. Many interpreted it as an admission of defeat. ![]() After filing my nomination papers from Hajipur, I had told reporters that I felt like having suffered a demotion. "Chirag should remember that I was never willing to fight the Lok Sabha polls, in first place. When asked that Chirag has staked claim over the Hajipur seat describing it the “karmabhumi” of his late father, Paras said, “Late Paswan was my brother, too.” You may hear these since it is an election year but there is no substance in such stories,” he said. All such reports which say otherwise are like the noises made by frogs during the rainy season. "No power on earth can stop me from contesting Hajipur in the next elections. The Minister also rubbished the media reports that he might take the Rajya Sabha route like his late brother did in the final phase of his life. That is a part of the culture of Bihar and of the Mithila region to which we belong,” he said. “I must debunk speculations of a thaw with Chirag which have arisen following photographs of him touching my feet, in Delhi, and me offering him my blessings. He also debunked the speculations doing the rounds of a possible reconciliation between him and Chirag after the NDA meeting which took place on July 18 in New Delhi. This says it all," Paras said while addressing a press conference here. On the other hand, Chirag may have attended the NDA meet in Delhi but was not invited to the meeting of the alliance's MPs convened inside Parliament. "I am a part of the NDA and there are no doubts about that. Paras expressed confidence that the BJP-led NDA will back his claim on the constituency instead of Chirag’s claim who was “yet to become a part" of the coalition. The affirming remarks came after his nephew Chirag has been staking claim over the Hajipur seat which previously belonged to his late father and former union minister Ram Vilas Paswan. ![]()
