Union Food Processing Industries Minister Chirag Paswan said in the program of ABP Network, ‘Ever since coalition politics started, my experience is that you are given less. NDA alliance has given me a lot. A party with one MP was given 5 seats. Gave 29 seats to the party with zero MLAs (Chirag’s LJP). Out of 29 seats, 26 were lost seats. There were many seats where NDA had never won.

Chirag Paswan said why should I be greedy

On the matter of demanding more from the alliance, Chirag said, ‘I am getting a lot without asking. Then why should I be greedy? We also did not believe that there would be such a big victory. My estimate was up to 175 seats.

Regarding any meeting with Congress, Chirag said that I do not know whether any such meeting has taken place. Anyone who knows Chirag will not be able to do such a thing. PM means a lot to me. I am in this alliance because of my PM.

What did Chirag say on the question of becoming CM and Deputy CM?

Chirag said, ‘I have come into politics because of Bihar. I worry why Biharis have to go to other states. After becoming an MP for the third time, I have understood that to make Bihar first and Bihari first, I have to go to Bihar. For me, my party is like my mother. Has handled the party in adverse circumstances.

On the demand of becoming the Deputy CM, Chirag said that even before the elections, I had no condition that I should be made the Deputy CM and there was no condition even after. I am not greedy for it.

Chirag has already given the statement ‘I am not greedy’

In the results of Bihar elections in November 2025, Chirag’s party Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) contested on 29 seats and won 19 seats. His party got two ministries in the government, but did not get the post of Deputy CM. While talking to the media on this, Chirag had said, ‘How much more greedy can I be? Now even after this, if I ask for something more from the alliance, no one will be more greedy than me.
