Paswan On Up Polls

The second phase of the Bihar election begins Tuesday morning with voting for 94 seats across 17 districts. RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav, the opposition's chief ministerial face, is among the 1,464 contestants. Seven ministers from Nitish Kumar's cabinet are also contesting, as is BJP leader Nitin Nabin, who faces Congress's Luv Sinha - son of actor-p...

Two days before the Bihar election, Chirag Paswan, stepping up his attacks on Nitish Kumar over allegations of corruption, said he believed "jail is the right place" for the Chief Minister. "It is not possible that Nitish Kumar was not involved in scams," the Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) leader told news agency ANI on his coalition partner-turned-chie...

Days before Bihar election, the biggest since the start of the novel coronavirus pandemic, Lok Janata Party chief Chirag Paswan kept up his attack on Chief Minister Nitish Kumar. This morning, he targeted the JDU chief over the alcohol ban in the state, a poll promise that was implemented after the 2015 state election.

The BJP and its NDA partners -- JD(U) and LJP -- on Monday formally announced their alliance for the Delhi Assembly polls, asserting it will send a "strong" political message across the country.

The Lok Janshakti Party, an NDA ally, on Saturday dismissed the SP-BSP tie-up in Uttar Pradesh as opportunistic and challenged Akhilesh Yadav and Mayawati to declare a Muslim as the chief ministerial candidate in the assembly polls there.

Union Minister Ram Vilas Paswan today said talks are on between the Lok Janashakti Party (LJP) and BJP for the Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections.

Expressing Lok Janshakti Party's willingness to fight the Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections next year as part of NDA, party leader Chirag Paswan said the final call over the issue would soon be taken by BJP.

At a time when BJP is aggressively wooing Dalits with an eye on the Uttar Pradesh Assembly polls, a former head of the party's Scheduled Castes Morcha has faulted its strategy, saying the organisation should go beyond "rhetoric" and the "tokenism of sitting, eating and meeting" with the community as what it wants is "parity not charity".

NDA allies today put up an united front amid vocal demands being made by some parties on their share of seats in Bihar polls but the crucial issue of seat-sharing was not discussed at their maiden joint meeting chaired by BJP president Amit Shah.

The Lok Janshakti Party on Tuesday denied reports of fissures in its alliance with the Samajwadi Party and the Rashtriya Janata Dal in UP and Bihar.
