A new government is going to be formed in Bihar. Its preparation has started. Meanwhile, Union Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi said that the oath taking ceremony will take place on the 20th. Prime Minister Narendra Modi will also participate in it. We have also been asked to participate.

‘The public expressed confidence in Modi and Nitish’

Jitan Ram Manjhi said, “We have got more seats than we thought. We had thought that we would win 160 to 180 seats, but we have won more than 200 seats. The people of Bihar have expressed confidence in Modi ji and Nitish ji. We had got less seats, it is true, we had said that we should have got more seats for the status of a national party, that was our logic.”

What did you say on the dispute in Lalu family?

On the other hand, on the dispute between Rohini Acharya and Lalu family, Manjhi said, “This is very wrong, what Tejashwi has done is a matter of investigation. We have already been saying that what he says should not be influenced by his words. First of all, he expelled the elder brother from the house, now he is doing this with the sister. We are personally very angry and give our condolences to Rohini ji.”

He further said, “Politics is different but from a human point of view I find it sad… Sisters are given special preference. The people of Bihar will not tolerate this. Personally, we are very saddened by this incident.” On Robert Vadra’s statement he said that he is not a leader but a businessman.

In the Bihar Assembly elections 2005, NDA got a landslide victory and the Grand Alliance suffered a crushing defeat. This time, Lok Jan Shakti Party (Ram Vilas Paswan) has also got unprecedented success in Bihar. Union Minister Chirag Paswan’s party has emerged as the fourth largest party in Bihar and the third largest party in NDA. This has taken Chirag’s popularity very high in Bihar. In such a situation, speculations are being made as to what role Chirag Paswan is going to play in the Bihar government this time.

While talking to a channel regarding this matter, senior journalist Vijay Vidrohi said that I think that if BJP becomes the Chief Minister of Bihar this time, then he will make Chirag Paswan the Deputy CM. He further said that the reason for this is that Chirag Paswan is the leader of Dalits and Nitish Kumar’s JDU also has Dalit vote bank. In such a situation, under the pretext of Chirag, BJP would like to bring JDU’s Dalit vote bank into BJP’s fold.

Why will BJP make Chirag Deputy CM?
The senior journalist told that in Bihar it was Nitish Kumar who had converted the Dalit castes into Mahadalit, but he had left out the Paswan caste. In such a situation, according to the long term plan, BJP can move in this direction. He also said that Chirag Paswan is still young, so how far will he go in central politics, in such a situation, if he succeeds in becoming the Deputy CM of Bihar this time, then after 5 years he will emerge as a strong contender for the post of Chief Minister.

How many seats did Chirag demand?
He told that Nitish Kumar wanted that Chirag Paswan’s party should not get more than 13-14 seats, but Chirag remained adamant on 35 seats and finally LJP (R) contested on 28 seats. Chirag Paswan has got big success this time.
