Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) national president Chirag Paswan on Friday accused Opposition parties in Bihar of attempting to divide society on caste and religious lines, asserting that his party had instead placed women and youth at the centre of its politics. Paswan made the remarks while remotely addressing an event held to mark the 25th foundation day of the party.
He said, “While the Opposition parties tried to divide society on the basis of caste and religion through their MY (Muslim-Yadav) agenda, the LJP (RV) forged a new MY equation, that of Mahila and Yuva.” Chirag was ostensibly referring to the Tejashwi Yadav-led RJD, which contested 143 assembly constituencies and won 25 in the Bihar polls. The LJP (RV), on the other hand, won 19 seats out of the 28 it contested and currently has four MPs. All party legislators were present at the event.
