Rashtriya Lok Janshakti Party (RLJP) chief Pashupati Kumar Paras resigns from the Union Cabinet following his party’s exclusion from seat allocation in the NDA coalition for Bihar. Paras expresses dissatisfaction with the injustice towards his party, emphasizing his intention to discuss future plans with party leaders. As the Food Processing Industries Minister and brother of the late Ram Vilas Paswan, Paras sought to contest the Hajipur Lok Sabha seat, currently held by his estranged nephew Chirag Paswan. The dispute arose after the BJP-led NDA allotted five seats to Chirag Paswan’s LJP, including Hajipur. Paras criticizes the treatment he received despite his loyalty to the NDA, while acknowledging Prime Minister Narendra Modi as a significant leader.
