Patna: Chirag Paswan lost his father eight months ago and has been ‘betrayed’ by his uncle recently.
The 38-year-old MP Jamui and the real heir for the legacy of the icon of Dalit late Ram Vilas Paswan struggled for his party and his own political existence.
The day after starting ‘Ashirvad Yatra’, Chirag told Piyush Tripathi Toi that he would move to court against BJP ‘Goliath’ and recently ‘Ram’, PM Narendra Modi, if the Safron government led by his uncle who wasolated Pashupati Kumar Paras in the United Cabinet from the LJP quota.
Quotes: Your uncle has gone to Delhi amid speculation that he can be appointed in the Union cabinet.
What do you say? If he (Paras) is appointed in the Union cabinet, then it will be very clear that all, including BJP, is involved in this conspiracy against me.
It will be proven that they all conspire to lure him not only to break my party but my family too.
And today when he has managed to execute conspiracies, then you make him a minister.
What will you do if the paras is done by the minister at the center? I want to clarify that it can be installed as MP or independent JD (U) can send it from the quota, but it cannot be from the LJP quota.
He and four other parliamentarians with him have been removed from LJP by the Party National Executive.
If the government is stodging it from the LJP quota, then I will move to court against the Government of NDA.
You mean fighting BJP and your own ‘RAM’ you have, have you supported it with dice until now? I have shown true loyalty to BJP but if things come to pass like that, then I leave without choice.
Now my own people have replaced me, I have no hope left from others.
I have written a letter to PM Modi today that if the paras is appointed in the cabinet from the LJP quota, we will oppose it.
What should you say about people in JD (U) is likely to be installed in the Union cabinet? Even though it didn’t happen to my concern, but I would only say that people at JD (U) have very high ambitions.
And so JD (u) join the Union cabinet, the party will break because they will not get the desired number of beds and what remains will be annoyed.
In addition, it is also the fact that JD (U) more pitching for the inclusion of the Chacha Paras in the cabinet.
What are the benefits you see from your Yatra? I don’t see any benefit.
Yatra is something personal for me because I reached out to the Bihar people to find blessings after being betrayed by my family members.
I left without others than Bihar.
Is this spontaneous betrayal or older brewing? Paras Chacha was never friendly and loving when my father was to him and the whole family.
In fact, he is said to be used to squeeze my father because of his ambition and demands, such as beds at the Ministry of Union.
And it was quite clear now with the fact that he had sided with CM Nitish Kumar, who always ignored our father and party.
You are mostly opposed to Nitish, while your father is considered more as a ‘team player’.
Do you take this? It’s not a decision or I become impulsive.
My father truly provoked me and was forced to fight Nitish Ji.
Papa told me that our ‘horsetrade’ nitish 29 MLA after the first assembly selection in 2005, where LJP had solo in the state.
Recently, Nitish Ji has taken our MLA and MLC.
The leader of RJD Tejashwi Prasad Yadav has repeatedly invited you to join hands.
Will you join him? I thank Tejashwi for his proposal and respect my father.
However, I did not think of alliances like now.
My complete focus is on ‘Ashirvad Yatra’.
