A day after five of six Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) MPs broke away in a stunning coup led by his uncle, Chirag Paswan's attempts at reconciliation were roundly snubbed. Five rebel MPs have voted to replace Chirag Paswan, the son of party founder Ram Vilas Paswan who died last year, and today elected his uncle Pashupati Kumar Paras as their leader instead. This leaves Chirag Paswan isolated and alone in the party he heads. Including him, there are six LJP MPs in the Lok Sabha.
