Chirag Paswan, fighting for survival after a coup in the Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) led by his uncle, today addressed the media for the first time since being removed as the party chief. The sidelined LJP leader said, "There have been numerous and continuous efforts made during and after the Bihar Assembly elections, including when my father was in the hospital, by some, especially the Janata Dal, to break up the Lok Janshakti Party."
